We love Whistler....and we are not ski addicts. The previous poster is correct re the glaicer opportunity. What a wonderful drive (in my opinion) from Vancouver to Whistler. For gosh sakes, rent a car for a few days and see some of the best scenery in the world on the 'sea to sky" highway. You will never regret the time ...if you have a min. of 2 days to spare in the Vancouver area. ( We have taken the trip several times but try to be in Whistler for at least 3 days-2 nights )

Hope you have a great time wherever you spend your visit to Canada...
