Esquiar en British Columbia

Having skied 52 ski areas encompassing 3 countries and two continents, I can say without hesitation that Whistler ranks in the top 3!!! When we arrived we were blessed with sun and calm on the first day - The village is most impressive, (reminding us of a modernized Chamonix) everything you need is in the village literally...from groceries to the RX! Restaurants galore, encompassing all types of cuisine. The nightlife is great, too. Nothing beats staying in the village just off of the Whistler and Blackcomb gondola's! We parked our car, and there it sat for the duration of our stay! Awesome.... Jetting up the Whistler side, we headed straight for Whistler Bowl- the bumps were thick and the vert was steep off the top. Great way to start the day! The Peak Quad really gets you up to the action fast! We worked West Bowl and then headed over to Glacier Bowl and Little Whistler. Harmony Express is great from noon on as mostof the runs like Back Bowl, Low Roll, Kaleidoscope are in the sun. If your looking for "tree shoot style" runs, Gun Barrels and McConkey's will fix you right up! My wife's favorite run was off the backside through Symphony Bowl. The sun had made the snow soft and the view was amazing! She really enjoyed it! We came to Whistler for the 2001 FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships (Jan. 17-21, 2001) and this happened to be the day prior to the official "kick-off"! The village was buzzing with participants and visitors alike.... I can say that no matter where you have skied, you're not complete until you've done Whistler! Was that the 2010 Olympics I heard? We will be back!

4000 feet of vertical in one hop! This mountain is HUGE, super snow on the upper half of the mountain; they need more snow on the bottom half. Lots and lots of off-piste. I can't get enough of the place! Thank God I live nearby!

hi vaig treballar l'any passat de monitor, i, sacrificant la meva economía, hi torno aquest any, aixó us diu kelkom? després d'haver esquiat en bona part dels alps i d'haver-hi treballat, només puc dir que whistler és de lo millor, sobretot fent referéncia al park, pipe i, el millor del món en descensos per dintre el bosc: s'ha de provar per creure-s'ho
