It may take a good few plus hours to get there, but Whistler has become my favorite ski resort (yes, it has beaten Silver Mt. in ID). In the first weekend of December Chris and I with our friends Rob and Amy took off for what I would say has been the best skiing of the season so far. After a very long car ride in some very nasty traffic we arrived in Whistler. We spent one day skiing and the second day exploring and had a blast doing both. It was Chris' second time skiing and he did great! We got him lessons (which we suggest getting for beginners) this time, as we learned teaching a spouse is trying and well safest so that both have a fun time.
So some of the things that made this mountain so cool:
1. The EDGE card, a card that we bought pre season and got great deals on lift tickets, ski lessons and with this card you could have your credit card hooked up to it so there was no hassling with your wallet.
2. Two mountains to chose from, both with very different terrain (multiple ways & areas to get up to them).
3. A very well set up system from picking up lift tickets, rentals, lockers, to getting up to the mountain and back down.
4. The village, a very inviting and cozy community that you fit right into once you arrive.
5. The views (everywhere you looked you were surrounded by God's awesome beauty).
