Hmm.... Tough Question

Is it good? Yes.

Is it very good? Sometimes.

Is it 'great'? No.

Would I drive to Whistler in January just to go to Araxi? No.

Would I go to Araxi if I was already in Whistler? Yes.

Would I drive to Whistler in January to visit Whistler in general? Yes.

...In other words, if you've never been to Whistler, it's a beautiful drive a great day trip and it's fun to wander the village. So if you want to see Whistler then by all means head up there and make Araxi a part of that.

...but if you've seen Whistler before I wouldn't bother driving all the way up there just to go to Araxi, particularly on Winter mountain roads.
