Your Gateway to Whistler’s Winter Adventures
In Whistler, snow is a sign that it’s time to go outside and play. And in Whistler Creekside, you’re at the heart of it all — a dream destination for the downhill skier with lifts right outside your hotel door.
Legends and First Tracks Lodge are the definition of ski-in-ski-out accommodations. Perfect for the downhill fan. Evolution is located slopeside, a mere one-minute walk to the Whistler Creekside gondola.
Winter In Whistler Creekside
From alpine hiking and mountain biking to lakeside paddling and open-air dining, summer in Whistler Creekside is full of possibilities.
With the Creekside Gondola steps away, you’ll have easy access to trails, alpine vistas, and the world-renowned Whistler Mountain Bike Park.
Discover Winter Activities Beyond the Slopes
While downhill skiing put Whistler on the map, today’s visitors can participate in a variety of activities, depending on their level of adventure.
Guests can recreate Canadian traditions with a horse-drawn sleigh ride or a dogsled ride at nearby Cougar Mountain. Ice skaters can choose between the NHL regulation-size hockey rink at Meadow Park Recreation Centre or any of the area’s frozen ponds and lakes.
Ziptrek lets you experience life from the forest canopy year-round, but sailing among snow-covered branches is particularly beautiful and quite thrilling. For those unsure about hanging upside down suspended by a climbing harness, there’s good old-fashioned tobogganing and its upscale cousin, The Whistler Blackcomb Tube Park.
Whistler offers a wide range of great recreational options for the whole family.
Olympics Winter Sports Legacy
Winter 2010/11 marked the first season that the Whistler Sliding Centre was open to the public.
Those with a need for speed can pair up with an established bobsled driver and experience Olympic-sized thrills on the world’s fastest ice track.
Another Olympic legacy is Whistler Olympic Park. The Nordic sport centre is nestled in the pristine Callaghan Valley. Although the ski jump remains a training facility only, the 57 km of cross-country tracks are wide open for skiers, with a few kilometres available for snowshoeing.
The turn-off is located 9 km south of Whistler Village, and it’s an equal distance to the ample parking. Off the beaten track, but a definite “must do”. Equipment rentals are available.
