Whistler Real Estate: the Key to a Wonderful World of Winter Sports

(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 29, 2010 ) (Whistler, BC) During the Winter 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, the world was able to see just how fabulous the ski runs, trails and other winter sports facilities in the Whistler area are. With its breathtaking scenery, luxurious accommodation options and plentiful aprÃ¨s-ski venues, itÂ’s no wonder Whistler keeps being rated the best ski resort destination in North America, year after year.

Many people who visit end up purchasing a Whistler vacation home so they can enjoy the activities on offer here at any time. While there is plenty to do in the warmer months as well, WhistlerÂ’s big draw remains the snow. For downhill skiing and snowboarding, Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb offer world-class trails and runs to suit every level of experience, and easy access by chairlift or gondola. With average annual snowfall of 30 feet, both peaks have excellent coverage throughout the season. ItÂ’s even possible to ski and snowboard the Blackcomb glacier through August.

Adventurous types who enjoy taking flight will find great opportunities for heli-skiing and snowboarding, while others might prefer to ski or snowboard behind a snow-cat instead. Cross-country skiers have many options, too, with several different Nordic trails such as the Valley Trail and Lost Lake trail network close to the village, and the Whistler Olympic Park in nearby Callaghan Valley.

Non-skiers can don snowshoes and explore the countryside, either independently or on a guided tour, or ice-skate on Alta Lake or at the Meadow Park Sports Centre. Snowmobiling is always good fun too, while dogsledding is a fascinating way to get closer to nature and local traditions. And who wouldnÂ’t enjoy a sleigh ride, compete with jingle bells?

With such outstanding leisure facilities right on the doorstep and plenty of other high-class amenities to enjoy, some people even opt to make Whistler their permanent home. The Whistler real estate market offers a wide range of well designed and appointed chalets, condos and townhouses. The best way to pick a Whistler condo or house is to enlist the help of a leading Whistler realtor from Thornhill Real Estate Group, who will always have numerous quality properties to show interested buyers.
