Whistler Back In The Saddle
After winning the Olympics and realising that Whistler, B.C. may
have one of the nicest mountains with some of the best skiing,
snow boarding, snow shoeing conditions in all of Canada.
Whistler has always been a great escape from the everyday
whether you are local or you travel great lengths to get here.
It has been consistent and always a rush to go up for a great
ski getaway. The last two seasons we have seen a dramatic
difference in the conditions, where did all the snow go? Now all
points seem to pull toward the massive warming of the earth due
to green air gas emissions and global warming.
I believe the tides are finally changing for our little whistler
village, with our slopes opening up early and the snow has just
kept on going. With the snow going like crazy so early in the
season I can imagine that this is going to be one of whistlers
best seasons in quite some time. So what next? I guess the
influx of snow and the great conditions are going to bring their
fair share of tourists, skiers, snow boarders etc. This means
that if you are looking for a place to stay when you head in to
Whistler Village the time to book is now.
Your next question may be: Well what would be the best bang for
my buck. There are a variety of options when you are looking for
accommodations in the busiest spot of the season. When you are
looking for accommodations depending on the length of stay you
want to be more than anything comfortable and lets not kid
ourselves you want it to be affordable. So lets go over the
possibilities of what kind of accommodations there are available
in Whistler.
Hotels/Motels - Well if you are going to in up one day and out
the next this could be cost effective. The wonderful thing about
hotels is they have a bed, and a bathroom and if your lucky you
could get there dried up continental breakfast, or you could
spend some extra cash and go off to the next greasy spoon and
eat your self into a heart attack. Now Im

Why One Saxophonist Covered His Idol
Steve Lehman's new album <em>Dialect Fluorescent </em>ends with a song called "Mr. E," a composition written by jazz legend Jackie McLean. But the connections run deep between Lehman and the alto saxophonist he considers a personal hero.
talking low end here
folks we all know that you can get all the luxuries of home I
suppose in the hotel/motel experience as long as you have the
coin to back it up.
Bed and Breakfasts - Now here is a truly comfortable way to
travel in fact it is one of my favourite accommodation methods,
you wake up to warm feeling and your breakfast is made for you
before you step the last step in the kitchen, the conversation
is friendly talking to the family that may be hosting or to some
other travellers that happen to be passing through. Like I said
my absolute favourite way to travel with the feeling of comfort
and a feeling of home.
Cabin/Condo Rentals - This is a great way to travel is you are
travelling with a group of 5 or more people, I love the feeling
of the great outdoors just outside my bedroom and the feeling of
camaraderie when you are travelling with a few of your closest
friends, and it gives you the feeling that you are camping. Now
if you are not feeling much like your an outdoorsy person and
require the same luxury of home and with a reasonable budget you
can always rent a condo and live like you never left home.
The choice is really up to you, whether you enjoy hotel living
or you want to feel the comforts of living like you never left
home in your own condo rental. One thing is for sure, Whistler
has got their groove back and if you want to catch the best
deals the time to book is now! Whistler is on the verge of their
best season and if you wait too long you may miss the boat!
