Whistler truly a four season venue. Sports, entertainment
and activities are unlimited. You probably know Whistler
as the number one ski resort in North America. With over
7,000 skiable acres on Whistler and Blackcomb mountains,
and the cross country trails, (one of which passes each
of our properties on Nicklaus North), Whistler's winter
charms are obvious.
The space, the lack of lift queues, the children's ski
park, the designated snowboard areas with half pipes,
rails and jumps, the heli-skiing for the powder hounds,
along with the charm of the Canadians, makes Whistler
a joyful place to holiday. It is one of the few resorts
where a non-skier will be as content as you after your
day on the slopes. There is so much to do.
You can swim, skate and use the gym at the Meadow Park
Sports Centre, just a few minutes from the Village. Spend
time in a class at the craft gallery, or in the Expression
Ceramics Studio where you can design and paint your own
masterpiece. Visit the museum and talk with the knowledgeable
curator, play tennis or snowshoe through the mountains
with the most interesting and proficient guides. You need
not ski. If you can walk you can snowshoe.
There are hundreds of shops. Whether you just want to
browse or if you have a credit card burning a hole in
your pocket, there is something for you.

On the mountains: There is a wonderful ski school which takes
all ages and abilities. For those who no longer need to be
reminded about `zee knees', the Ski Esprit programme will
help you 'improve while you move', without lengthy discussion
or standing around waiting in line for your turn.
|
| The
Mountain Host programme takes place each morning and afternoon,
run by volunteers who guide you to runs unknown to anyone
but the locals. This is a free service! You may choose to
make Fresh Tracks with an early start, breakfast on the mountain
and then skiing before the regular lifts start operating.
Snowmobiling adventures abound. You can choose between the
local trails, climb up to one of the mountain restaurants
for dinner or a tour of Soo Valley and Cougar Mountain to
take you further into the interior.
From Nicklaus North to the lift base is a ten dollar taxi
ride or 2 dollar bus ride, (the local bus stops at the entrance
to Nicklaus North, just three minutes walk), From the Village
town homes a ten minute walk will deliver you to the lifts.
On your first few days we will be able help you to find your
way around, if you wish.

have arranged for you to leave them securely stored in the village,
enabling you to apres-ski unencumbered wandering around the
shops and bars. (Of course you may store them at home if you
wish). Equipment hire, of the latest ranges is available at
the same location. |
