Whistler takes pride of place among Canada and North America’s finest and most popular ski resorts, and you only have to spend a day or so there to see why. It’s a very pretty town with bags of character, it’s unbelievably friendly, it has an amazing beer and food scene, it regularly receives buckets of fresh snow, the lifts are swift and modern, and the skiing is exceptional!
Don’t visit Whistler expecting Euro-style après ski, because you won’t find it! There are plenty of amazing bars to choose from, where you can tuck into steaming bowls of nachos and cheese, juicy burgers and delicious pizzas, all accompanied by cool pitchers of craft beers from across the valleys and beyond.
There’s also a lively and diverse live music scene in Whistler, with a wide array of talented bands taking to the stage across the resort each night. Merlin’s, the Garibaldi Lift Co (GLC’s) and Dusty’s sit in Blackcomb, Whistler and Creekside respectively, offering a welcoming home for thirsty après-skiers in search of a refreshing pitcher and a place to park up. This, however, is just the tip of the iceberg! The Brewhouse, Dubh Linn Gate, Fitzsimmons Pub and The Whistler Brewing Company are all well worth a look.
A foodies’ haven, Whistler is home to an impressive range of restaurants, cafes and eateries with international flavour, and — depending on the foreign exchange rate at the time — prices are good. Sushi, Mexican and Italian dishes are popular, alongside steak and burger joints. If you want to save your dollars for the slopes, there are lots of comparatively inexpensive eateries and, equally, if you’re in search of something special, many of the higher-end hotels house fine-dining restaurants where you can really treat yourself.

Whistler sits in the Callaghan Valley, a region of soaring peaks, rugged trails, snow-capped forests and shimmering lakes. If you’re a lover of the great outdoors, you’re in the right place! Away from the slopes there’s a massive range of non-ski activities to choose from, and getting involved with one or two non-ski activities will enrich and enhance your Whistler experience.
