#200 review and I could think of no better place.

Here's the quick review: Go. Go if you're good. Go if you're bad. Go for summer hiking and biking. Go for winter for skiing and snowboarding. Go if you love shopping. Go if you love food. Just...go.

In my six months of living in Whistler I never went to Meadow Park. It was always there, always easy to get to, but there was something always coming up when I was planning to go.
When I went back last year for a visit my friend practically dragged…More »

One of the best nights of my Whistler life was when all the employees at my job went snowmobiling. The people at Blackcomb Snowmobiles worked with us on a group rate that beat out their competitor. It was also pretty close to the place I worked which…More »

I highly recommend taking a Ziptrek tour while in Whistler. Safety seems paramount as is a better understanding of the ecology of Whistler. I regrettably only went once, but I had a great time. I've always loved ziplines, and these did not…More »

5.0 star rating

Even when the it was in that little bungalow, this was the best library of all time. A fantastic selection of books, movies and music, I spent almost as much time searching the shelves as I did on the mountain.
For a poor mountain employee, there…More »

So I'd never been on an actual golf course before. I think this course set the bar way too high.

Last summer I was fortunate enough to be friends with one of the employees of this tres chic club. They really do have marvelous hiring practices as of…More »

4.0 star rating
  8/6/2008 First to Review

The only reason this place gets four stars is because it's open on Sundays. It's great if you have a lot of money to spend on nice wine. For being so tiny, their wine selection is actually pretty good.
This is not the place to go when all you want is…More »

ME is a great small-town cultural center. The building is fairly new. The theater is on the small size but has comfortable seats, a nice PA system and has a nice layout so there isn't a bad seat in the house.

One of the best nights I had in Whistler…More »

My friend and I were determined to bungee jump. We had had a lot of friends jump, and we wanted to be part of the cool kids club. We never found time in the winter (although they are open 7 days a week year round) so we went on the last day of my…More »

Whistler Eats (42)

So much good food in this small mountain town. Some not-too-good eats, too.

Lunchtime in WLA (3)

I'm lazy. I hardly ever bring lunch. I also see lunch as the time to escape. So boom: lunchtime excursions.

My Sweet, Sweet Santa Cruz (9)

Places I Used to Work (2)

So this goes into questionable Yelp territory, but I think I've still managed to stay impartial.

Let Me Entertain You: LA Edition (31)

Okay, I won't entertain you, but you will be entertained.

Los Angatbles (12)

Didn't your mommy ever tell you to eat your veggies? My mommy did. I took her at her word. Maybe a little too much.

These are the vegetarian spots that have taken my heart.

Oh the Places We'll Go (13)

The best road trip of my life was through Brtish Columbia, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alberta and back to BC to catch a cruise to Alaska. Here are a couple stops along the road.

On those days you just can't force yourself to get on the mountain....
