Hi
I try to go to whistler every other year, Ive stayed in many hotels, but this year there are 6 of us going and we would like to rent a lodge/chalet type accommodation.
Does anyone know of any? would like to be close (ie walking distance) to the upper village
Thanks

Try to contact the Tourist Department of the Canadian diplomatic Representative in London; they know a lot about this subject.
Hope it will help you and good luck!

I need to send a credit card to someone in New York from whistler. I need it to get there in less than 7 days. How much will this cost, and what service will I need to use.
With kindest regards,
Jamie

Think it’s $ 1.05 after tax

I would check the town’s newspaper for jobs – it’s a great place to start. Here are their websites:

The next is a Great website put out by the Whistler Chamber of Commerce -job postings – employers who hire – job fair dates – information on accommodations, information for foreign workers, students looking for summer or winter employment, ect – it’s an excellant site.

as far as food, drinks, and general entertainment. I was just wondering because every time someone asks about Whistler they say it is expensive.

whistler and Vancouver are very expensive places to live, eat, or be entertained. whistler serves up a slice of crap pizza for 5 bucks

My deepest sympathies go to the family, friends, teammates and countrymen & women of Nodar Kumaritashvili, the Georgian luge racer that died in a horrible accident the first day of the games, I think it was only fitting that the IOC president dedicated these games to his memory.

Thank you and congrats to all the Canadian athletes for making this the most succesful winter games ever for Canada, you all deserve to take a bow for all your hard work and perseverance just to get to the level of qualifying for the games let alone compete at a level high enough to actually win a medal.

Thank-you also to all the volunteers, workers, organizers, host families, police, security, score keepers, time keepers, judges, referees and COC & VANOC & IOC members for making these games such a success!!!

accomadation, job, ski pass etc.

Easy plan:
Get a job as either a ski instructor, ski patroler, or work in the demo shop.
This will probably get you a free season pass.
Find a cheap condo that you can rent for the season nearby.
