Whistler for Christmas?

With this years ski season getting underway, the resort of Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia is starting well. To the delight of weekend skiers and riders, there has been 52 cm (20 Inches) of new snow in the last 7 days! So, it's looking good on the slopes – but what about staying there?

Whistler Chalets (www.whistlerchalets.co.uk) is the perfect place to find suitable accommodation, whether that is luxury catered chalets or self catering apartments. The website, now in its second year, gives all the information that you need to know if going on a skiing holiday to Whistler.

The website is continually updated, throughout the season, with recent snow reports, late deals and special offers. The late deals section is especially popular for those looking for a bargain ski holiday. For example, for two people wanting to stay in a catered chalet over the Christmas period costs just £1049 for 11 nights. This equates to a saving of over £400 on list price! The accommodation is Chalet Renoir which is a characterful, spacious and stylish chalet perfect for skiers wanting a high standard of accommodation and easy access to skiing.

With the snow so good now though, why wait until Christmas? An 11 night holiday in the Brio Haus on the 12 Dec, costs only £699 per person. The Brio Haus, built in a traditional Austrian style, has excellent facilities including an outdoor hot tub and sauna.

Many people are now looking to go further a field for their winter sport thrills. North America is fast becoming one of the top destinations – and with the dollar weakening is becoming affordable to most. Whistler remains a top destination, as the resort has over 1600 acres of terrain and over 180 miles of pisted runes. The opening of the Nintendo Superpipe this coming season means that Whistler Blackcomb is also a favourite for boarders.

With the crowded slopes of Europe this season, give Whistler a whirl, Blackcomb a blast and enjoy your festivities in style – in a Whistler Chalet!
