Whistler

For those of you who have never been to Whistler, I have two things to share.
1. The Whistler/Blackcomb area is HUGE. To put it in perspective, it takes about 45 minutes to get up one of the mountains on a high speed chair. You have to take three chairs in order to get to the top of blackcomb, and when you do, you can go down any side of the mountain. I spent two days there, and didn't uncover one twentieth of what was there.
2. The Whistler village area is like a very expensive shopping mall complete with expensive shops and little dogs. I had the pleasure of visiting every one of those little shops in whistler when I was following Rohan (our host) around during his shopping excursion.

Don't go to Whistler for the shops. You can just go to any mall for that. Go to Whistler for the mountain. There isn't another one like it.
