Whistler Blackcomb

Whistler Rocks

So first time to Whistler......and just wow. OK so I know that a lot of people complain about the lines the crowds and well, everything. I loved it, I stayed at the Coast Blackcomb resort on Blackcomb Mountain, it is true ski in ski out, the entire experience was amazing, so much so that we are going back at the same time next year. For any level skier I could not recommend this amazing place more highly. Ignore the crowds, ignore the lift lines, nothing compares to WBC.

Best location for a skiing holiday

The Pan Pacific Mountainside is the closest accommodation to the lifts at Whistler overlooking the gondolas and chairlift in the village plaza.

The skiing at Whistler Blackcomb rates with anywhere else in the world but the village atmosphere makes it superior to anywhere else. People are at Whistler because they all want to be. There are no negatives and facilities and services in the village are very good.

Off mountain activities are available including dog sledding and bobsleigh.

Summit Spa Lodge a hit!

From the complimentary hot chocolate with Baileys to the Belgium Sheppard named Nana in the foyer, the Summit Lodge and Spa had me smiling from the start! Excited about our first week in the Canadian snow for our honeymoon, and with high expectations, we weren't disappointed. We were chauffeured by lovely mercedes van transfer from Vancouver for the 2 hour trip to Whistler, and strolled into the foyer, welcomed by friendly staff, a cosy fire and a bit of jazz in the background. A dog shaped blackboard welcomed the pooches in residence, which of course made me miss my fur kid even more, but it was the best place for this homebody to experience a bit of luxury and class away from home. Getting in the lift with our luggage and another well trained resident enters with tongue hanging out and tail wagging, we a whisked upto the fourth floor and are impressed with the modern finishes, cute kitchenette, little fake fire and gorgeous view. We settled in cosily, and then decided to head downstairs to rent some boards. It was a great place to base ourselves, with friendly service and enough thoughtful attention to detail for this picky traveller.
