Hi Ski Traveller

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Thanks to Sarah for all the really helpful advise on Skiing Whistler. It is great when you speak to someone who has lived and skied there with first hand knowledge. That Amsterdam cafe was a real cool spot - after a hard day. Our accommodation was more than expected - only 3 mins away from the chair lift. Our friends who used another agency found themselves 20mins out of the main base area. Look forward to our trip again this season.

Cheers

Kimberley & Family.
