But, I've always liked the Gold lounge at Whistler. It has a nice cozy feeling to it, is well decorated and furnished, and never felt crowded. That lounge at BSH is far too big. Given the sheer number of Gold rooms there, I guess they need it to be big so there are no crowds or line-ups, but it just feels too big (well decorated and with great offerings, but far too big). One day I'll have to make a return trip to Whistler, but I just prefer the skiing at other places.
