As a resident, entrepreneur and frequent SKII in Whistler, I realized that "secrets" to see and do than the average visitor to Whistler idea. I'll try to go through local knowledge, but know that Whistler is a paradise of his own - these secrets is to add the magic!
Hotel Can $ 300 per night during ski season and high season - but three ideas have saved me money on accommodation. First Reserve is a condominiumCall ResortQuest agency can offer special off-season - I was in a beautiful home one block from the main square, with Jacuzzi, fireplace, kitchen, 4-6 persons for $ 100 in the fall - seek an agreement on it!
If you are outgoing and ready to enjoy and common areas of a bed and breakfast - Chalet Beau Sejour had bed and breakfast in a villa with spectacular views of mountains for 90 to $ 125. Guests very social, and a dining tableMountain view with double-sided fireplace and mulled wine while visitors from around the world talking about snow and skiing, but can not be easy!
Finally, there are two hostels - the venerable Shoestring Lodge, just north of Whistler, about ten blocks away, and should be "developed" in house before the Olympic Games has beds for $ 25, as the Inn on Lake Whistler - you can use to share a room with some interesting strangers, but leave the pricea lot of money for food and fun!
Whistler is an incredible variety of high-end restaurants, but I found noteworthy was the Edgewater Lodge, just north of Whistler, a few kilometers. Check the image on die website along with the Zagat offer "game (which have their own venison farm) and be on your way!
At the other end of the spectrum, the mall next to the Whistler Conference Center hosts Shakespeare's Pies - Australian meat pies for under $ 4It 's always more, especially after visiting bars and nightclubs in Whistler!
Three bars stand as the best in Whistler, and offer a unique experience. Tommy Africa attract people of 20 years, with glass DJ booth, the best local DJs and a zebra striped door! The Savage Beagle is a two-stage packed bars on the waterfront, with dance floor belly scale and anchors the top section. The bar of the "Puma" for the 30 and up is Buffalo Bills, theother end of the hall - live bands, DJs and comedians have offered many great nights great over the years.
Pass often find themselves at 11:07 in Squamish or Vancouver on your way to Whistler for a discount of $ 20.10 per ticket which can raise. Waiting times are shorter in the installation of Whistler Creekside, if you want to start quickly, but I prefer skiing at Blackcomb, the other mountain (they are in Whistler Village United)
The best-kept secrets about Whistlerare the activities in summer - a group of pristine lakes for swimming and canoeing, mountain biking, with full protective equipment are shot to the top of the mountain of runs fast or hard, and the ski hill has a glacier at the top, that was until the month of August!
Oh yeah, some guys named Palmer and Nicholas have golf courses, and there are ski slopes, tennis, zip line trekking, helicopter, rafting, fishing, horse riding, quad biking - there are many things to see,but bring money!
Enjoy now, before the Olympic Games - for two weeks to watch on TV this world is crazy for Whistler!
