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 :-)

Whistler Smile

I live here and am actually starting to enjoy the summers more than the winters. So much to do, I do a lot of hiking / camping in the mountains. Mountain biking ( both downhill and cross country/trails ) and the last 2 years I have gotten into rock climbing. So much to do, not enough time to do it all.
Winters are awesome too obviously, a lot of terrain here. Good back country access as well.

To tell the truth, I am looking into buying at Squamish - halfway between Vancouver and Whistler. It is a major growth area, with way more rock climbing and mountain biking than Whistler. I can't really afford to buy in Whistler, Squamish is still expensive, but not too bad considering.

 Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person
Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I live in France full time - in a small mountain ski village. We had very basic French when we arrived, but the local people were helpful and welcoming - appreciating the fact that we tried (even if we failed!) to communicate, and also that we would be year-round residents contributing to the community. Four years on the situation hasn't changed that much - our French has improved, and we can make small talk, but still couldn't attempt a deep and meaningful conversation (there isn't much of an expat community here, but our clients are mainly English-speaking, so we don't actually get to speak that much French and spoken fluency is coming rather slowly). The main difficulty for us is not having any close friends, because although lots of people will say hello, it has been difficult to really fit in and socialise. That said, the more I hear about life in the UK these days, the more I think I couldn't hack it if we ever had to go back!

I would advise testing the water first, because some areas are definitely anti-English, and when they talk about you (assuming you don't understand) it can get you down. Quality of life is definitely better here though, and when you get the chance to be the first person on the first lift of the day EVERY time the powder is knee-deep, it makes you realise just how lucky you are.
