Dashing to the Slopes from your Whistler Accommodations
‘Tis the season for Whistler ski vacations, and with the amount of snow that Mother Nature has so graciously dropped over Whistler BC Canada, travelers to the area can expect mid-season snow conditions without waiting. Plus, with the recent completion of all three venues for the 2010 Olympics in Whistler, Canadian winter sport athletes can train on the sites two seasons before the 2010 Winter Games. The three venues, Whistler Sliding Centre, the Whistler Olympic Park, and Whistler Creekside, were all finished early and on budget.
So, what does that mean for the regular traveler heading to British Columbia, Canada for a Whistler ski vacation? It means that you have an extra year of watching Olympic athletes train. Most people don’t get an opportunity to support athletes with such exquisite skills . But now, thanks to the focus, dedication, and commitment of the people behind the scenes building the venues, vacationers can get a sneak peak even earlier than expected.
And, if you’re one of the lucky people visiting Whistler Blackcomb for next week’s Christmas holiday, enjoy the 10 foot base of natural snow. That’s about one-third of the average annual snowfall the Whistler receives. Wow! And 92% of Whistler Blackcomb’s terrain is waiting for you to explore. Plus, an added bonus for travelers who have Whistler accommodations in Whistler Village, you can get to the ski lifts right from your back door. No driving to the ski shops for you and your friends or family; just don that ski gear and go.
But don’t forget: Santa is still watching. He’ll be watching very intently on December 22, 2007 because that is the day he can ski for free in Whistler. So can his dear wife, Mrs. Claus. So, while it may appear that you see 100 different Santa’s or Mrs. Santa’s on the slopes, remember that in the spirit of Christmas magic, it’s just one person skilled at being in more than one place at a time.
