It's no secret that Whistler is one of the world's most incredible vacation spots. Just a short two hour drive from Vancouver gets you to Whistler Village, the top ski destination year after year. It has become an icon in the ski resort industry. Getting from Mountain to Mountain Because Whistler and Blackcomb are so enormous, and separated by terrain, skiers used to have to pick one mountain or the other. There was simply too much space to cover. And getting from mountain top to mountain top simply took too much time. But Whistler's Peak 2 Peak gondola, a two-mile, 11-minute horizontal journey that joins the two mountains, allows you to ski on both mountains on a single day. Peak 2 Peak can move 4,100 people per hour in its 28-passenger cabins. Two cabins have glass bottoms, so those who are not afraid of heights can gaze 1,427 feet below. Whistler for Kids Your children will be well taken care of and will certainly learn to ski or snowboard at Whistler's Ski and Snowboard School. Lessons are open to children of all ages, starting with three year olds. Children of all ages will love the facilities including a Magic Castle on Blackcomb Mountain and hidden Tree Fort on Whistler Mountain. Shop, Shop, Shop There are over 200 shops in Whistler. Despite having a fairly small local population, the shops are varied and the quality is exceptional. The tourist class certainly feeds these shops. All kinds of outdoor gear is readily available as a number of sports and recreation shops litter the mountain and sell everything necessary for a day on the slopes or exploring the backcountry. Eating Out If you think you are limited to burgers and beer on the mountain, think again. Whistler has an amazing assortment of dining choices for any palate. You may be surprised at the number of choices you have. They include pubs, casual restaurants, and fine dining alternatives. And visitors will find influences from some interesting and exotic locales. You can enjoy Japanese food, savor world class Italian cuisine, or enjoy Pacific Northwest inspired dishes. A Wild Night Out If you're looking for a wild night out, you won't have to look to far in Whistler. There is something for everyone here. Whether you are into live music, the club scene, or a quiet jazz band, Whistler has it. Be sure that you don't overlook the famous pubs of Whistler. They are sure to please and the food is second to none. Nightclubs in Whistler close at 2am (Sundays at 1am). And a special note, bars close at 1am although patios usually close an hour earlier.
