Whistler-Blackcomb Luxury Ski Package
Whistler, British Columbia is aproximately 78 miles (126 kilometres), from Vancouver, and the area has several large hotels, eateries and bars, condominiums, and expensive homes. The area is also the location of the top rated Whistler Blackcomb ski resort which has been selected as the site of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The slopes are ideal for all ages and skill levels. This European-style resort has three glaciers, more than 200 marked trails, 33 lifts and 12 alpine bowls with a vertical drop of more than 5,000 feet (1524 meters). Abercrombie & Kent is offering an experience at Whistler that has an unprecedented degree of luxury and exclusivity and service.
You can start your ski fantasy with a private limousine transfer from Vancouver International Airport along the picturesque Sea to Sky Highway. Then find yourself in comfort with a deluxe mountain view room and a “Ski Concierge” to manage your needs and equipment. Along with the professional instruction, from beginner to expert, with reserved lunch seating at the best slope-side dining. And don’t worry, you won’t be sitting around waiting in a lift lines.
- High Performance Equipment - “Travel Light” and we outfit you in high-performance rental equipment from Salomon, Rossignol, Atomic and Burton . Each morning warm boots are waiting — and at the end of the day, let the Ski Concierge take charge of the equipment to store it for the night.
- Professional Instruction - Spend half of each day with Whistler’s top instructors, people who know the very best places on the mountains for alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, skate skiing or snowboarding. High tech lifts transport you to the alpine world high above the village with no waiting.
- Fresh Tracks - For those who just can’t get enough skiing, we include “Fresh Tracks” tickets for an early morning breakfast high up on the mountain and first crack at the fresh powder on untouched slopes. Your Private Guide skis you to the front of the line at every lift.
- Reserved Lunch Seating - At the end of your morning lesson, your ski guide escorts you to a premier slopeside restaurant, where you are seated immediately, enjoying superb service and spectacular views.
- Christine’s on Blackcomb - Rock and wood accents create a warm and inviting ambiance. Chef Steve Bjornmark has updated the menu with lighter fare including Ahi tuna, a variety of satays, hot sandwiches and pastas. Located at the top of the Solar Coaster Express inside The Rendezvous.
- Steeps on Whistler - This welcome refuge is a casual full-service restaurant featuring West Coast favorites. Daily specials complement classics such as the Smoked Salmon Chowder. Located in the Roundhouse Lodge on Whistler Mountain.
- Exclusive Snowcat Ride - During your stay, climb aboard one of the resort’s Snowcat trail groomers to ride along closed slopes empty of everything except their twilight beauty. It’s a time and a place few skiers will ever experience – and an A&K exclusive.
