Together, the Whistler-Blackcomb restaurants have 6,500 seats. A sunny weekend day can bring 15,000 skiers and boarders to the slopes. When it's sunny, this is my favorite lunch spot - for the view as much as the food. Drink in the panorama of jagged peaks and Whistler Village more than 5,000 feet below. Of the big eating places on both mountains, this is my favorite.
Skiers can tuck into Asian food including Thai- and Chinese dishes, salmon and sushi.
Or choose baked potatoes with all the fixings, sandwiches, soups and more. Eat indoors or snag a table on the patio where the aroma of outdoors-grilled burgers drifts over the crowd. Fuel yourself with the rich Belgian waffles as you sit either in the cozy interior or on the sunny deck. Take a tray and cruise the various food counters offering pasta, fish and chips, sandwiches, wraps and more. Get there equally early to snag a seat on the sunny, second-floor patio.
