Am doing half a ski season in whistler 2010, from November 17 to March 1st.
Is it cheaper to fly to Vancouver, or is it cheaper to fly to Seattle and then take a bus to whistler?
Regards,
Jamie

Hard to tell. Chances are good that it’s cheaper to fly to Seattle, but that leaves you with at least 6 hours of bus travel and more complication in working out schedules. Just check out the prices and times of the bus travel and watch the airfare prices to both cities so you’ll know when a good deal shows up.

Hi,
My friends and I want to go to whistler in Canada soon. I just turned 19 and I was wondering if I could legally drink and go in the bars and clubs there because I heard that the laws recently changed for US Citizens drinking alcohol.

According to this website, the legal drinking age in Canada is either 18 or 19, depending on which province you’re in…

I haven’t found any website that says Americans have to go by the American legal drinking age… In fact, this website, designed for Americans traveling to Canada, discusses the drinking age in each province and makes no mention of Americans having to be 21 years of age to drink in Canada…

I’m just curious what is the easiest black diamond run at whistler mountain bike park since im a beginner sorta and I am ready to take the step up to blacks so what would be the easiest for a first time black run?

Monkey Hands, give that a go, I would say it should have been marked as a blue but it is black.

Have fun!

I’m looking to go to whistler in January and want to pre-book early. I need a nice condo for 6 people. Where should I start looking? Everywhere so far seems very over priced.

Hahahahaha! The words cheap and whistler shouldn’t be put in the same sentence. If you’re looking for lower cost accommodation, try Squamish. It’s less than an hour away, and is still fairly reasonable.

I have seen comments that it is still under construction, will it still be at the end of August 2007? I have also heard it is not a good highway to drive the first time….is it scary, are there big cliff drops with no railing? I am afraid of heights, but I love scenic views. We are planning on renting a car and going from Whistler to the Horseshoe Bay Ferry in Vancouver via this highway, and then to go over to Vancouver Island, is this the best route?
I am trying to create a "loop" as much as possible. I am trying to book a kayak trip that meets in Duncan, so I figured drive down from Nanaimo to Duncan, stay the night, then after the kayak trip go to Victoria area for a couple of days and back on that ferry to the other one in Vancouver that is closer to the airport.

The current construction is planned to go on all summer. The advisories say until October. The route is undergoing major upgrades for the 2010 Winter Olympics. So, I imagine there will always be construction for the next couple years.

That bad? Well relatively speaking, it isn’t. I have been around BC and there are a lot worse. Like the road past whistler will make your heart stop, but is very scenic too. The thing about Sea to Sky is it is too close to Vancouver and is traveled more than other areas and gets more complaints. Just drive within the speed limit and you will be fine. Add extra caution if road conditions are less the perfect. (Night, rain, etc.)

I don’t recall the drive as ever being scary. Yes, there are great views along the way, especially if you aren’t use to coastal terrain. The type of things us locals take for granted.

Horseshoe bay is fine. It is the easier ferry for you to get to and avoid a drive through Vancouver. But also depends on your plans on the Island. Where are you going? I live on Central Vancouver Island and take that ferry normally. However, it does get busy summers. Very busy. I suggest making a reservation. Otherwise you may have a several ferry wait. This route has fewer ferries each day. There are a lot more that go to Victoria.
