INTRODUCTION
Whistler – Blackcombe is a skiresort situated about two hours bus journey north of Vancouver in Canada and is quite simply the most incredible skiresort I’ve ever had the fortune of skiing in. Before I begin to wax lyrically about its virtues a little background on myself as regards skiing. I’ve been skiing now for about 15 years having started at the tender age of 7 and until travelling to Whistler I’ve only ever-skied in Europe. In this time I’ve been all over Europe in all the major skiing countries as well as the less well known Andorra, Bulgaria, Finland and Sweden. I say all this not in an attempt to show off but to show that I think I have the credentials to comment on skiresorts.
I actually went to Whistler for two weeks in Easter ‘99 to visit my brother who was ...
Advantages: Great snow, wide range of terrain, great town, wide range of other activities Disadvantages: busy on weekends, altitude.
With the weak dollar it's never been a better time to head across the atlantic to indulge yourself in some powder skiing, tree skiing or if you feel really fancy...heli skiing!
This resort has it all! four mountains to choose from, all of which offer something special! Head to peak 10 if you fancy a bit of tree action, or take advantage of the bowls on all peaks. For the intermediate skier there's plenty of blues, and groomed blacks to improve your techniques or just blast down!
The beginner area around the quicksilver super 6 chairlift has a number of nice wide and easy greens that never seem to be too crowded, and with the 6 man chair lift getting back up is easy!
The town of Breckenridge itself is a lovely place to spend an afternoon or a full day. The buildings are charming and colourful, theres a wide selection of shops ...
lodge and it is beautiful, all wood built looking out onto the main lift. The Day care centre is right next door (this also services Mount Norquay and Sunshine resort) the staff there were excellent, each day they provide you with a menu for the little ones and they get great choices, including mid morning and afternoon snacks. There are soft play areas for the very little ones and they have ski and sledging options for the older one. The main lodge has the ski hire area and a great outdoor shop. The restaurants are one regular one with the take a tray sort of service or burgers and a slightly more expensive one upstairs which sold amazing stonebaked pizza, and you could get iced Baileys in a souvenir ski boot, we have a few of those thanks to my husband.
Also they have the usual mountain restaurants on the mountain itself, always ...
