Wednesday 2nd June 2010
Thinking of taking a break in one of the world's most renound ski spots? We've got the inside track on the best ways to while away your time on, and off, the slopes in Whistler.
Ski!
Situated just two hours from Vancouver, Whistler is nestled among the breathtaking surrounds of the Coast Mountain Range. Host to many of the recent events at this year’s Olympic and Paralympic Games, it’s an unrivalled ski spot, boasting 8,000 acres of skiable terrain and receiving a staggering 2million skiers and riders every year to its renowned Blackbomb ski resort. With an average of 10 metres of snow per year, the resort is the ultimate playground for experts and novices alike, with terrain to suit all levels. Heli-skiing is a unique experience offered at Whistler, and allows you to enjoy skiing upon untouched powder fields, chosen by an expert guide who will fly you over the nearby mountain ranges. It’s also the only resort in North America where you can ride a glacier - and there's nothing to beat that experience.
