Szilvia GombolaI love Whistler

The ski season in the Northern Hemisphere will soon be underway and I am hoping to be able to pay another visit to my favourite skifield, Whistler in Canada. In my opinion it’s the best ski field in the world. You don’t need to take my word for it either; TransWorld magazine readers voted it number one ski resort in North America.
Even getting to Whistler is great especially if you are coming from Vancouver as I always do. You get to Vancouver airport then get on a transfer bus to Whistler Village. It is about a two hour drive, but it is two hours of stunning scenery. On one side you have beautiful views of the sea with a number of small islands, on the other side high cliffs.
The skiing of course is magnificent. With over 200 runs catering for all ability levels you can ski for a whole week without doing the same run twice. There are a total of 38 lifts that can move over 60000 skiers an hour so even on the busiest weeks of the year you never have to wait long.
In the evenings Whistler Village is alive with a number of great restaurants and bars for all those après ski activities. There are also plenty of places to shop in the pedestrian only centre. My best tips for those visiting the village is stop at Roger’s Chocolate and try their Victoria Creams. They are the best I love them so much I order them online.
I have tried Banff for skiing and Sunshine Village and Lake Louise are both beautiful but it I have to say I prefer Whistler still because it has a better climate.
