I started going out with my boyfriend in Whistler, so I may be slightly biased!

I went to Whistler a group of friends, we stayed in a chalet with a hot tub. This was my first time skiing out of Europe.

I have been to several ski resorts in Europe and to Vail in Colorado but none of them compare with Whistler.

There was fantastic snow, lovely light fluffy power and excellent off-piste and gladed routes, as well as fun parks, adding much more variety to the skiing.

The people were fantastic, not like France where every one seems to want to push in lift queues. All the people were really laid back and friendly on the lifts. There were plenty of piste maps about on the slopes, so no need to worry when you have a bit of a fall and your map gets buried in a drift. The lifties went out of their way to help you if you asked them for info.

There were info boards in helpful places giving you plenty of information about which lifts and runs were open.

Every one speaks English, the only downside I can think of is the long flight to get there.
