Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Location: snowHeadLand
Resort:WHISTLER
Country: BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
Domain:Whistler/Blackcomb
Author: Helen Beaumont
Date: 21-30th March 2005
Our holiday: Family trip, 2 teens and ourselves
Website : www.whistlerblackcomb.com
Basics : Flight to Vancouver via Heathrow, hire car from airport to Whistler.
Lift system : 3 gondolas from each base (Blackcomb, Whitler and Creekside), rest all chairlfts and a couple of t-bars
The terrain : Awesome terrain for all, but I would probably not recommend it for a beginner, although there is an excellent learnign area at the Whistler Gondola mid-station. YOu wnat it Whistler has it, bumps, steeps, and immaculate grooming
The snow : Awful before we got there, fantastic when we arrived, but you still couldnt ski back to the base.
Off-piste : Endless off-piste opportunities.
The resort : Nicely laid-out, large pedestrianised village (more like a shopping centre really). Excellent free shuttle to base of the mountain (Max 10 mins)
Food : Endless possibilites. Lack of gourmet options on the mountain, but Steeps Grill (Whistler ROundhouse) was the best . Good noodle bowls in Glacier Creek (Blalckcomb) . In the village, Zeuski's(Greek), Brewhouse (Steak, etc),and the Crab Shack (seafood) were all excellent. Apres ski, Garibaldi Lift company, Blacks, and the Brewhouse(real ale), are all excellent.
Accommodation : Private rental, Glacier's Reach. 2 bed apartment with hot tub on patio
Costs:10 day lift pass £230 approx . Meal for 2 with wine £40-60(huge portions) . accom 100 per night low season , up to £250 high season (for 2 bed 2 bath apartment, sleeping 2-6, with private hot-tub
Conclusion:A fantastic place, exellent skiing , excellent restaurants, excellent shoping. The only thing that lets this down is the long flights and the subsequent jet-lag.
