Pros: The view... the shopping... the food Cons: The crowds... and sometimes the prices
One of the most beautiful places on earth, and one of the things that makes Canada a great place to visit (and live!) I have to admit that my visit to Whistler was in the off-season with no skiing, but that certainly didn't affect the great time my ...
Pros: Huge, Nice Village, Wide variety of terrain Cons: Got lost in backcountry, Pain to get to
Last year planning my ski trip, I would read continously in magazines that Whistler-Blackcomb with on average over 300 inches of snow each year was the Number 1 Ski Resort in the World. I had my doubts that it could be that good, but when I finally made...
Pros: Read my Top 10 List. Cons: Lousy airport shuttle service. Too much rain/snow in the afternoon.
Even though I live on the East Coast, I am a West Coast skier. Ever loyal to the ski resorts at Mammoth and Lake Tahoe, I plan my Christmas vacations every year to coincide with my brother's scheduled ski trips. My brother loves to organize annual...
Pros: Superior, always patient and friendly staff Cons: Most maps in the area have the old location listed -- they have moved.
OK, everyone already knows skiing at Whistler is great. The mountain is huge, beautiful, and the runs are excellent. But after a couple of days on the mountain you might want a little break, or perhaps someone in your group isn't really into the ...
Pros: Remote wilderness, non-stop glaciers, snow conditions, vertical rise, great guides. Cons: Can be costly during height of the season, Feb/Mar.
Strapped into my seat, gripping a pair of gloves in one hand, I felt the helicopter lift off the pad. As we ascended into the air, even with 10 people on board, things were unusually quiet. The air inside was cool but humid from all of the breathing. As ...
Every year for the past seven years my family and I take a ten day trip to Whistler/Blackcomb. We were first alerted of the mountain's existence by a friend. He told us that it was absolutely amazing experience. He went on to say how the...
Pros: Everything you can imagine: greatest vertical, most efficient lift system, most skiing on the continent, variety of terrain, longest ski season in North America Cons: wish it was sunny more often/snows too much
When I changed my job in the middle of February of '99, I had about a week to do some adventure travel. I decided to go skiing, and after reading some reviews I decided to go to Whistler, B.C. What can I say, it fulfilled every expectation I had of a...
Pros: Terrain, Fast Lifts, Exchange Rate Cons: Climate, Crowding
Whistler is one of the best ski destinations on the planet - huge mountains, lots of high-speed lifts, ample snow, a real base village, glacier skiing. The possibilities are endless. It simply dwarfs all US mountains except for maybe Vail or Mammoth....
Pros: Superfantastic early season skiing Cons: A little crowded in places
If you'd prefer to fight your way through cranky crowds at a hot, cramped, stanky shopping mall rather than fight your way through fresh powder at a beautiful, clean, crisp Canadian ski resort, then don't go to Whistler over Thanksgiving.
Pros: Beautiful fluffy snow, varied terrain, apres-ski, cost Cons: Can be crowded at very peak times, excellent lodging is pricey.
It was amazing how lucky we got when we showed up for Spring Break in Blackcomb village. There were 7 guys, from all over the US, coming together at the Woodrun condo, an awesome place that is ski-in ski-out to Blackcomb base. The condo itself, while...
Pros: beautiful location, excellent terrain for all skill levels Cons: none
Every word to describe this resort ends in "est": biggest, mostest (snow), longest (runs), and BEST. I was here for 5 days over Thanksgiving 1999. I'm now saving my money to visit again in 2001. In the meantime, I ski in the Northeast,...
Pros: Purity of environment Cons: Difficulty in getting through Vancouver traffic
We spent a long weekend at Whistler recently and I was shocked at how beautiful the area is, how nice the people are and how pristine British Columbia is generally. I admit that I am not much of a skier. In fact, I'm one of the worst skiers on the...
Columbia Men's Blackcomb Pant Why wait for Whistler? The Blackcomb Pant performs with the best of them, whether you're in B.C. or back at home (and if you live at Whistler, well, w...
