People from all over the world come and stay in a wide range of accommodations from economical village hotel rooms to grand condos or huge slope side villas. They can ski and snowboard on two different mountains and even a glacier which offer ski terrain for all levels of expertise from beginner skiers to extreme skiing experts. Non-skiers will enjoy strolling the village walks and browsing shops and stores. Every type of cuisine can be found along with a wide range of nightlife bar hopping, bands, sports bars, bowling, and pool halls. Whistler offers something for everyone to do during his or her winter vacation.
Whistler differs from most Rocky Mountain resorts in several other ways.
First, it s more humid than dry since it is located near the Pacific Ocean. As a result, few visitors suffer from altitude sickness the first few days while their bodies adjust to thin air. The layout of the sprawling development is well planned and very organized visualize the Whistler Village complex at the base of two towering mountains and as the central point of the vast ski resort. Most everything in the Village is only a 10 to 15 minute walk away, meaning you don't need to hire or rent a car to ski, shop, or dine. Upper Village with the huge Chateau Whistler Hotel Resort is a 10 minute walk across the creek through a pretty covered bridge.
