Review from D I.

The place is fantastic. We got a 2 bedroom unit. There were large / deep (and clean, yay!) bathtubs in both bed rooms with nice hot water. As the other reviews mention, the gondola is right outside, so it is perfect ski in / ski out. The rooms are very large and the place is well constructed - we were not bothered by noise.
The only downside and it was mentioned by another reviewer is that Creekside is a little lame when it comes to nightlife and dining options. So, just plan to catch a bus over to Whistler village at the end of the day. If you do hangout in Creekside, head over to Roland's bar and grill - that place is pretty cool and the staff is a lot more attentive and pleasant than the folks at Dustys. -

This is the place to stay in Creekside for ski-in/ski-out convenience and high end amenities. Located adjacent to the Creekside gondola and a hundred yards or so from the Creekside village and Dusty's. The building has a parking garage (though, at $15/day for guests it's a little pricey), an incredible lobby area with plenty of comfy couches and a grand fireplace, and posh suites.
Two of our three rooms had private baths with jetted tubs along with heated stone floors. That's right, heated floors. Great kitchen with a decent set of cookware and table settings, just be sure to bring your own salt, pepper, and paper towels.
I'm knocking off a star because, although they claim to offer late check out if requested, they tried to gouge us for an extra $80 to extend from our scheduled 11 AM time to 2 PM on a very slow Tuesday. -

My wife and I stayed at First Tracks for our 10th anniversary, just a few weeks before the Winter Olympics. I'd agree with most of the reviews here, First Tracks is in a great ski-in/ski-out location, and is definitely a bargain compared to some of the other lodging options at Whistler.
This all being said, this is the quiet side, vs the Village. I mean quiet. We ate a Dusty's the first night, and that was good, but didn't have much interest in the Tapas bar beneath us, so off we went to the Village every night. The Village has everything, plus the crowds. I'm not sure if I'd stay in Creekside again if/when we come back to Whistler.
First Tracks is very nice, but maybe a bit too secure. Make sure you have your key, otherwise it's a hassle getting inside (which can be a good thing). The front desk isn't in the lodge itself, but just across the sidewalk. It almost feels like an apartment building, rather than a hotel. Everyone seemed friendly enough, but I'll probably stay somewhere else next time. -

Ski-in/Ski-out rules!
Our place was so close to the lift we could look out and see what lifts were open on their big board.
Oh, and if you forget your key, apparently you just have throw rocks at random windows to get let in. I wonder if that kid is still waiting in the snow for me to let him in. -

Though I kept calling this place Cat Tracks (not to be confused with the Cat House), this is the way to do Whistler in style. When they say ski in/ski out, they aren't kidding. We could see the gondola from our window, as well as whether happy hour had started yet at Dusty's Backside (heh, heh, heh). The accommodations were beautiful--each bedroom had its own bathroom, lovely open living room/kitchen/dining room, and a built in beer cooler. Ok, the beer cooler was really the balcony, but who cares. This place rocks! (Just bring your own salt and pepper.)
