Based in Vancouver, I ski Whistler about 25-30 days a year and visit at least 4-5 times each summer. Here are some reasons NOT to base yourself there:
  • $400 a night for dumps like the Listel
  • $40 a night parking at most major hotels
  • $9 beers
  • $30 nachos
  • Money grubbing Vail mentality permeating all aspects of village life
  • Empty mega mansions
  • Snooty nimbyism from the mayor
  • Overpriced 'outdoor' activities
Go visit Whistler for sure, do the touristy things, but it's fast becoming like every other Vail resort $$$$
