The time to get those skis and snow boards out is fast approaching and hitting the slopes takes some preparation. You’ll want to get those muscles in shape and you’ll want to take on some challenges you may not have tried before. Western skiing does differ from Eastern skiing with a lot more powder on most slopes and with so many resorts to choose from the new visitor to the Rockies may be overwhelmed.
There is another country that offers western style skiing along with an international flair that the non-skiers can enjoy as well. That country is of course Canada and one of the very best places to go is Whistler British Columbia. Whistler, the home of the snow sports in the Vancouver Olympics in 2010, is located in the Coast Mountain range and is a four season vacation paradise with many indoor activities as well.
You won’t have to be out on the slopes to enjoy some day trips to areas like Vancouver which, with the mountains and Vancouver Bay, might just be the most beautiful city in the world. That is why Vancouver has been named the number one vacation destination in Canada by Travelers Choice.
The Whistler area likes to think that they offer a more European style of vacation-more relaxed and continental. No problem with that – it’s a taste of the Alps without the long airplane ride and high prices.
To take full advantage of Whistler, Vancouver and the surrounding area you can get a luxury vacation rental property from the iTrip website.
