WE MUST CONFESS THAT WE ARE SKI ADDICTS AND SO WE HAVE SOME GOOD KNOWLEDGE AND AVAILABILITIES IN THIS AREA. SKI SEASON GENERALLY RUNS FROM DECEMBER TO MARCH WITH PEAK INTEREST, AS WITH OTHER AREAS, BEING PRESIDENTS DAY WEEK IN MID FEBRUARY AND XMAS WEEK, BETWEEN XMAS AND NEW YEARS. WE'VE FOUND THAT SOME YEARS SPRING SKIING TOPS ALL OTHER TIMES AS THE SNOW COVER IS MAXIMAL AND THE TEMPS ARE MODERATING. KILLINGTON VT. IS PROMISING A SEASON THAT WILL LAST UNTIL EARLY MAY AND WHISTLER HAS GLACIER SKIING UNTIL LATE JULY. EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE TO SKI- HIKING, BIKING, PADDLING, AND SIGHT-SEEING ARE BEST IN MOUNTAIN COUNTRY.
IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, WHISTLER IS A ALL-SEASONS RESORT MOUNTAIN TOWN IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1.5 HRS FROM VANCOUVER AND 5 HRS FROM SEATTLE. THE 2010 OLYMPICS ARE BEING HOSTED IN THIS RESORT. THE TOWN WAS WELL PLANNED AND DESIGNED WITH ENVIRONMENTAL AND ARCHITECTURAL EXCELLENCE AT THE BASE OF WHISTLER MOUNTAIN AND BLACKCOMB MOUNTAIN, BOTH OF WHICH ARE EASILY ACCESSIBLE BY WALKING, PUBLIC TRANSPORT, OR PRIVATE CAR. ALTHOUGH RENTALS ARE EXPENSIVE WE CAN SOMETIMES SWING A DEAL THAT CAN'T BE BEAT. RESTAURANTS, LOUNGES, CULTURAL ACTIVITIES, AND SHOPPING IS WORLD CLASS. THE SCENERY IS UNWORLDLY.
