Whistler has the longest runs I have ever been on. The snow is perfect and the ride on the gondola at the halfway point is relaxing. The whole place is beautiful and is not very crowded. When we last went the sun was shining and the snow was...

Pros: Read my Top 10 List.
Cons: Lousy airport shuttle service. Too much rain/snow in the afternoon.

Pros: Heaven on earth
Cons: Haven't found one yet!

Whistler is awesome. If you are reading this review, you've already decided that. The next question is where to stay?

Pros: Great ski conditions, wonderful accommodations
Cons: More people are knowing about this great package

Pros: excellent skiing, great staff

Whistler/Blackomb consists of two mountains, obviously Mt. Whistler and Blackcomb. The snow there is beautiful and the ski school consists of the best skiers and snow boarders available. All are curteous and excellent teachers. The village offers many...

Pros: Good conditions and friendly people.
Cons: Cold for real.

Sure you can go skiing almost anywhere in the world, maybe even some places more challenging than this, but you don't get the people, the enviroment or the weather anywhere else.

First off, the conditions of this particular ski resort are...

Pros: Great Place, Great People

Whistler/Blackcomb Mt. In British Columbia Canada is a wonderful vacation resort for couples and families alike year round, but of course winter is the best for those ski buffs. We went last Feb. for one week. You can walk/ski to almost any lift from you...
