 Poster: A snowHead
|
any on have any thoughts on the better place to stay? I have booked flights to be there 7th jan to 17th jan but not sure where to stay. not looking for night life but maybe just a few places to eat pub type food in the evening.
Its a bit late for this questions as i have already booked but what is the typical snow for this time of year.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@MogulMonkey, or Creekside? The original part of Whistler, with a quiet buzz about the place that's a bit different to 'Disneyland' Whistler. Still the same easy access to the mountain. Cheap busses or taxis run most of the night for nights out in town, but also good restaurants and bars in Creekside.

It's "Blackcomb".
From a practical point of view it doesn't make much difference - what you see is what you get. Like shops and noisy things: stay in the village. Everything else, no need to do that.
Weather... if I knew in advance then I'd probably make tons of money from that information. From memory... the last couple of seasons... well there's been plenty of snow on the pistes at that time but the off piste wasn't great (they were late turning the machine on). The season before that the early season was the best all year - unusually cold and dry powder for xmas. Before that... well every season's different.
The depths of winter are a good time to go to BC, although the days are shorter so you want to get going when it's light and not back bottom about with the crowds at lunchtime. Expect precip. In whistler, it may have some moisture content.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@MogulMonkey, Oops it was Creekside I stayed, not Blackcomb - Creekside was great but having to stay in whistler village (Keg 😜) next year, terrible hardship I know.

It's a short walk from Blackcomb to the Village. Personally I prefer to stay at Blackcomb base.
