Winter in Whistler Itinerary

• Take the Whistler Shuttle from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to The Westin Resort & Spa, Whistler.

• Ski rental drop-off at hotel - that's right! Black Tie Ski Rental Delivery will hand-deliver your pre-ordered ski rentals (tailored to your shoe size & skill) directly to your hotel. Black Tie service, indeed.

• Free evening to explore Whistler Village.

• Free morning to get acclimated to the altitude and/or jet lag and gear up to hit the slopes.

• Après at The Garibaldi Lift Co. Remember, après is typically between 3-5pm and these hot spots will fill up quick with skiers ready to soothe their jelly-legs!

• Dinner at Hy's Steakhouse for prime steaks & cold martinis.

• Free evening for post-dinner cocktails or games by a rolling fire.

• Free morning/gear up to hit the slopes.

• Lunch at Christine's on Blackcomb, located at the top of the Blackcomb Gondola, offering panoramic views & wine flights. Yes, please.

• Free après afternoon, this time hit the hoppin' patio at The Longhorn Saloon featuring sparklers and champagne guns if that gives you a sense of the vibe. Keep you'll definitely need to reserve a table in advance.

• Dinner and craft beers at the charming & rustic Stonesedge Kitchen.

• Free morning to enjoy brunch at Crêpe Montagne a lovely little French crêperie that offers sweet & savory crepes, fondue and mimosas! Not a bad way to start the day. (Don't sleep on this option though, they host walk-ins only.)

• Enjoy an afternoon of blissful relaxation & digital detox at the Scandinave Spa, an outdoor thermal spa that also offers a menu of massage treatments.

• Then undo all of that relaxation at the Whistler Sliding Centre with some exhilarating bobsleighing at 125+ kph (roughly 77+ mph).

• Ski rental pick-up at hotel; get ready for dinner!

• Savor your final dinner of impossibly fresh oysters & seafood, at Araxi. Concluding your trip with caviar & champagne is quite the power move.

• Take the Whistler Shuttle from The Westin Resort & Spa, Whistler back to Vancouver International Airport (YVR)

• Depart for home, reflect on your wonderful trip, and plan your debrief with Jenna!
