Whistler is such a beautiful resort and it snowed the first two days we were there so I really wanted to take advantage of it and go snowboarding but I was a little gun-shy after fracturing my tail bone in Mammoth last year.

I figured the best way to…More »

After an underwhelming meal at a local restaurant the night before, we decided to go ahead and check out Araxi for dinner before heading back to Vancouver the following day. Looking back, I'm not sure why we didn't just eat at Araxi to begin with…More »

A fantastic burger joint, if I do say so myself.

The lamb burger (just a note- there's a strong element of gaminess to it since it IS lamb) is delicious with cheese, Splitz sauce (sort of a creamy yogurt tasting sauce), sprouts, pickles, tomatoes,…More »

Yes I know I'm writing about a Starbucks but I'm not reviewing their coffee. The server was down at the Westin for over a day while we were there so even though I had paid for the Wi-Fi (I know most hotels charge for it in the rooms nowadays but this…More »

After surveying all our options for dinner (sans cover charge) on New Year's Eve, Sushi Village seemed to be our best bet in terms of wait and food so we decided to eat dinner there after having drinks at the Mix.

Sushi Village is what it is. The food…More »

The hotel itself is clean and the service is very friendly which seems to be the thing in Whistler... Everyone is so nice! There is a gym/pool/hot tub as well as a spa on the second floor that comes in handy after long days in the snow. Location wise…More »
