Whistler stomping grounds

See All Lists
My stomping grounds, during my month stay in Whistler. I was fortunate to serve as a Security Supervisor at Whistler Creekside, during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. I got to live the dream in Whistler.

My family and I have been regular visitors to the downtown Toronto eatery since 1996.  We have taken many friends and family there, as it has always been consistent -  reasonable prices and friendly customer service.

This is stereotypical tourist trap material here. But it is also classic Canadiana kitsch.

It's a gift shop with everything under the sun. They maintain a trite inventory of clothing, jackets and genuine leather products to stuffed animals and books…More »

Located in Whistler Creekside, a great spot for people looking for a calmer Whistler experience, away from the party atmosphere of Whistler Village.

The only reason I visited Boston Pizza was it was paid by my employer. That being said, it was a…More »

Being a hat afficionado, I had to visit the store.

The name pretty much says it all. The Whistler Hat Gallery carries a wide range of styles from the Australian outback, to the streets of New York.

If you came unprepared for the winter weather, they…More »

Zogs serves high fat & calorie dishes that keep you warm.  This is not a place to impress your first date. It's basically an outdoor greasy spoon. All "seating" is outside. It's a permanent chip stand on the Village Stroll.

Don't get me wrong, I loved…More »

I noticed this store on my first walk down the Village Stroll. By simply window shopping, the store screamed whimsical fun women's apparel.

Judge for yourself from some of the statements on their website:

"Früv is a community of friends who are…More »

This is Whistler's famous sweater shop. Amos & Andes (The Whistler Sweater Shop) is a high end sweater retail store in the heart of the Village.

WHISTER MUST-DO!

This is the number one attraction in Whistler. Whether you ski/snowboard or not, everyone has to have the chance to see the mountains from up high.

The Peak 2 Peak provides a view is like no other.
