Our holiday at Whistler Blackcomb in January 2012 was fantastic. The Village has plenty to do for those who don't ski or want a day or two off the slopes.
There are so many restaurants and bars we only scratched the surface in the 10 days, all sorts of cuisine and budgets are catered for within the village. Ski school was fantastic, the 1 week Ski Camp was well worth the price.
Having breakfast included at the Pan Pacific made the start to the day very easy and the adults really appreciated drinks with Jim and his staff from 4pm, and the kids loved the cookies and hot chocolate. The rooms were comfortable my only complaint is the fire station at the back of the hotel. We loved that we could leave our skis at Pan Pacific Mountainside and it's a very short walk back to PP Village Centre if you don't walk through the village.
The staff more than willing to help with any query or to organise any activity you might try e.g. dog sledding. Just one piece of advice, avoid skiing on Saturday if you can, that’s when the locals come up from Vancouver and the slopes are busy and the queues long.
