  Visited Whistler with my family in January 2008 and I can only say: Amazing. Fantastic snow, friendly peoples and good prices. I hope to be back in 2009.

  Visited Whistler with my family this year and all I can say is that the skiing, resort and the friendliness of the people is fantastic.
  We will definitely be back. Only issue was the transfer to the resort given the road works to improve the road for the 2010 Winter Olympics - it took 4 hours from Vancouver! Even though this was tough after a 10 hour flight it was worth it!!!!

  Not cheap but when the weather cooperates like this year and last year it is unbelievable. Great variety both on piste and off.

  Top Tip if you need internet access - Esquires coffee shop at the bottom of town gives you 15 mins of internet if you spend over $3 (around the price of a decent coffee) which is a great deal if you drink as much coffee as I do!!
  Other places generally charge around $2 for 15 mins
  Guess where I am now!!
  PS; Powder today was awesome, over my knees! Take the Fitsimmons chair in the mornings to avoid the queues for the gondolas if there's heavy pow!!

  Whistler is without doubt the most complete resort I have ever been too. Great park , Great offpiste , great nitelife and superb food from Zogs dogs to Lobster in the 'Crab Shack '
  The mountain has something for everyone from complete beginer to Switch 900 .
  Most of my friends have learnt to board there through the 3 day Ride Espirit course . They have all been ripping by the end of the week with one riding down the Flute after only two weeks .Wish I hadn't learnt in Europe !
  The intermediate and advanced workshops are great , you can choose from a park , pipe or freeride lesson and the instructors grade you before you go , so you will be with riders of your standard .

  There is a whole gang of us out in Whistler for the season- with Season's on Snow..... the accomodation is ok... the people are great age range in our chalet is 19-37 yrs.... The snow since we have been here has been fantastic we have had a metre in the last week; powder days..... Strongly reccomend going to do fresh tracks breakfast when you know there has been loads of snow... on Whistler. James strongly reccomends the RAC avalanche course he's willing to take commission.We have got five months and one week left and feel extremely lucky to be here. It is the best thing I've ever decided to be out of work.... Come and join us here!!!!!! Well the other day we were in a Gandela... and Seal was in the same one. We had a photo opportunity at the top of Whistler.... Apres Ski is good the best Nachos being at the base of Blackcomb in Merlins six of us shared one portion and we just about finished. Apparently you can have a Nacho challenge if you eat them all yourself they will pay for them... Avoid the bears and the moody waitresses in the GLC above Whistler Gondola. For all round apres-ski I would reccomend the Longhorn Bar!!!! The Waitresses ar always really friendly even if you dont't tip them loads!!!!! Wicked back country opportunities!!!!!!! The beer of the holiday so far is Kokanee.... glacial brewed beer!!!!!
