"Whistler is home to, hands down, North America's finest skiing and snowboarding. Forget Aspen and Vail with their celebrity clientele, or the gentle hills of the Northeast — and forget about tacky Tahoe, steep as the slopes may be. Whistler is blessed with the best location, and the town itself is rigidly planned, a welcome respite from the grab-bag of faux-Swiss chalets and strip malls that comprise most ski towns." - Tablet Hotels
