We checked out the town of Whistler and looked at the hills and gondolas but didn't do any of them. They looked very nice, they were just upgrading the Blackcomb Gondola when we were there.

The world famous ski resort of Whistler, and neighbouring Blackcomb, enjoy an idyllic location in British Colombia in the south west of Canada. The temperatures here are not as extreme as central and northern Canada, which means the summer months are warm but not too humid and uncomfortable. Whistler is in the Coast Mountain range and not far from the Pacific, which stops temperatures rising too high or falling too low.

Located in the spectacular Coast Mountains of British Columbia just two hours north of Vancouver, Whistler is Canada’s favourite year-round destination. There are two majestic mountains with a vibrant base Village, epic skiing and snowboarding, four championship golf courses, unbeatable shopping, restaurants and bars, accommodation to suit every budget, hiking trails, spas and arguably the best mountain bike park in the world.

Named for the furry marmots that populate the area and whistle like deflating balloons, this gabled alpine village and 2010 Olympics venue is one of the world's most popular ski resorts. Nestled in the formidable shadow of the Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, the village has a frosted Christmas-card look in winter. But summer visitors now outnumber their ski-season equivalents, with many lured by the area's scenic hiking, biking and thrill-popping outdoor adventures. It's surprisingly easy to get lost walking around the labyrinthine little village but you're unlikely to find yourself too far from your destination once you turn around the next corner.

Even in Whistler’s village, the temperatures generally hover around freezing during winter. Packing essentials include a thick waterproof jacket, a moisture-wicking layer for mountain adventures, and wool socks. As mentioned, there are as many casual restaurants in Whistler as there are fine-dining establishments, so it’s advisable to pack at least one smart-casual outfit for dining out.

It’s the largest skiable area in North America and heaven for summer thrill-seekers. Whistler's astonishing 8,000 acres draws discerning skiers, mountain bikers, trekkers, rafters and climbers, who descend from nature's playground to relax in a village dotted with patio restuarants, bars and boutique shopping. A perfect all-year round resort suited to all your needs, come sun or snow.

This place is awesome to learn and then enjoy once you get better at skiing or snowboarding. We learned in different slopes and as our confidence increased we did the more challenging slopes. Coming from NZ the size of the place is huge and you can get to ski for hours.

3 skiers (incl. kidsx2) and 1 snowboarder. In comparison to local Vancouver mountains:

Pros - Gondola is definitely a plus with the kids...warm, dry, no difficulty getting on and off like lifts. Kids said they prefer Whistler. Lots of runs to choose from. Great snow conditions. All the staff were very friendly. Recommend - Steeps Bar and Grill with reservation because they seem to be very busy.

Cons - line-ups at customer service, lifts/gondolas. Really should have a app showing wait times to assist in balancing out the line-ups. Roundhouse Lodge around 11-2 is a zoo. Not a table or chair free in sight! No night skiing. More planning involved - runs, where to eat, when to eat... Some restaurants only have outdoor seating. Parking can be an issue too.
