 Poster: A snowHead

im just about to book for whistler and the prices are quite steep but we have found somewhere we can afford called glacier hotel. it says it is in the blackcomb willage and not whistler and im a bit worried all the nightlife is in whistler. is the distance between the two far? should i look for somewhere in whistler village instead for better nightlife?

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

try looking at places by the whistler marketplace, I stayed there in january and was really happy with it while not paying the in-town prices. it's close to the IGA and a short walk to the pub. marketplace lodge i think it was that we stayed in.

If you mean Glacier Lodge at Blackcomb, I've stayed there and its pretty decent - I'd recommend it. And it's a lovely 5 min walk through a park and across river to Whistler. Or a free bus, but it's not exactly a trans-continental hike! (and 150m to Blackcomb lifts).

Another advantage is that Blackcomb slopes are a lot quieter than Whistler's. Also skiing between the two is really easy.

shapes, we got some decent accommodation with hot-tub on the terrace at Glaciers Reach which is in Village North, and just opposit ethe bus stop. It isn't too bad a walk into the main town in the evening, and is close to the supermarket. Have a look at www.alluradirect.com for privately owned condos/apartments

shapes,
If you check out the listings you'll see 3 Glacier somethings. Glacier Lodge is the best location by far, opposite the Chateau Whistler. It's a condo type place, I've stayed there (2 persons - twin king size beds!) and it is ideally situated and you can get a great breakfast in the attached Bar. Also got a pool and hot tub.

shapes,
We've stayed in the Glacier Lodge twice, and will be back there next March. It's conveniently placed for Blackcomb base, and only a short walk from the main Village. It's also right next door to the only liquor store that's open on Sunday (rather important if you arrive late on a Saturday night, after the stores close).
