Legends Hotel, Whistler

Ten days at Whistler Creek

The beauty of whistler creek as a base for skiing Whistler / Blackcomb mountains , and especially staying at the Legends hotel, is that you are only a few steps away from the gondola that takes you in a matter of minutes, to the main skiing areas of Whistler mountain.

Combine this with the new Peak to Peak gondola that takes you in 11 minutes to Blackcomb Mountain, and you have a huge skiing area that is perfect for all conditions.

The accomodation is excellent and the access from Australia is relatively fuss free.

Canada is a generous and friendly place to ski, especially at Whistler.

A must do experience.

Happy 55th Birthday from Whistler Blackcomb

I checked in at the beautiful Legends Hotel at Creekside for my 2nd visit since 2008. After a geat birthday celebration at Hy`s Steakhouse in the village with my 22 year old son (who had been here since June) we hit the slopes the next day for a week of sun and blue skies along with my 19 year old twins and brother who had arrived from Hong Kong. The big storm hit Friday night Feb the 11th dumping 211cm over the next 7 days. On Valentines Day they opened Symphony Express after 2 days of non stop snow and we rode knee deep all afternoon. My 3 sons worked me through the glades and trees on Adagio and Jeff`s Ode to Joy until my legs could no longer take any more. Back at Legends that night relaxing  in the great outdoor spa, the snow continued to dump down I smiled at my 3 sons and said"At 55 it doesnt get any better than this".

I knew we were going to do it all again the next day!
