Whistler Blackcomb - help needed

So.... Ive wanted to Ski in Canada for a while, and it looks like this will be the year. Im looking to go to Whistler, and would appreciate the help/advice of those of you that know this resort. Im looking for a ski week 6-7 days for dates approx. 2nd week of January. I would love to be able to call/contact those of you that can give me a hand directly, so please post here or email me and I will get in touch.

Some additional info. I want to stay at Whistler village, dont feel like driving in the mornings to get to the lifts. I see there are various options, Whistler Creek, Whistler Upper Village, and Whistler Village North. Which one should I choose? I would rather have the apres-ski & nightlife close by, so in principle Im discarding slopeside properties.

Also, Ive seen the following lodges/hotels in the vicinity of where I think I want to stay:

- Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort
- Listel Whistler Hotel
- Crystal Lodge
- Tantalus Lodge
- The Coast Whistler Hotel

Any comments/tips on the above would be greatly appreciated. Gracias !!
