Since the 2010 Winter Olympics, Whistler has continued to secure the spot for one of the most amazing vacation destinations in the world. Just a short two hour drive from Vancouver gets you to Whistler Village, the top ski destination year after year. It has become an icon in the ski resort industry.
Peak 2 Peak Gondola
In the old days, you couldn't really ski both mountains on the same day. You had to pick one or the other. That was just the reality of the landscape. Whistler and Blackcomb have a total of 8,171 skiable acres and a mile of vertical descent, so cruising from top to bottom on either mountain takes time. But Whistler's Peak 2 Peak gondola, a two-mile, 11-minute horizontal journey that joins the two mountains, allows you to ski on both mountains on a single day. This amazing gondola can move 4,100 people per hour from mountain to mountain. Two cabins have glass bottoms, so those who are not afraid of heights can gaze 1,427 feet below.
It is Kid's Friendly
Your children will be well taken care of and will certainly learn to ski or snowboard at Whistler's Ski and Snowboard School. Lessons are available for children aged three years and up to eighteen years. Children of all ages will love the facilities including a Magic Castle on Blackcomb Mountain and hidden Tree Fort on Whistler Mountain.
Excellent Shopping!
There are over 200 shops in Whistler. Despite having a fairly small local population, the shops are varied and the quality is exceptional. The tourist class certainly feeds these shops. You can purchase whatever you need for your skiing or snowboarding in local shops throughout the village.
Restaurants
If you think you are limited to burgers and beer on the mountain, think again. Whistler has an amazing assortment of dining choices for any palate. You may be surprised at the number of choices you have. They include pubs, casual restaurants, and fine dining alternatives. And visitors will find influences from some interesting and exotic locales. The influence of Asian cuisine is unmistakable in Whistler and you'll be pleased to know that it will be some of the best samples you've enjoyed.
Nightlife
The Nightlife in whistler is a reason in itself for coming here. World famous DJ's, live music, apres ski and a great party scene means there is some place for everyone no matter what your taste in entertainment. Be sure that you don't overlook the famous pubs of Whistler. They are sure to please and the food is second to none. Nightclubs in Whistler close at 2am (Sundays at 1am). And a further mention of early hours, the bars close at one in the morning, although patios usually close an hour earlier.
