Four Seasons Resort Whistler
Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Canada's biggest ski resort, Whistler claims the top spot on Skiing magazine's "Top 25 Resorts in North America" list. And with more than 33.5 feet of snowfall annually, Whistler was well-suited to be the Host Mountain Resort for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

In addition to the more than 200 ski trails for downhill skiers at Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, the variety of outdoor activities on and around the mountains is vast, so couples can engage in all kinds of winter adventures here:

  • Snowboarding
  • Backcountry tours
  • Dog-sledding
  • 17.5 miles of cross-country trails
  • Ice climbing
  • Ice skating
  • Glacier skiing
  • Heli-skiing down 6,000 feet of powder
  • Snow Cat tours
  • Snowmobiling
  • Snowshoeing
  • Sleigh rides with a bonfire stopover
But will you want to leave the Four Seasons Resort Whistler to try any of them? A well-staffed, well-decorated romantic haven with a spa, pool and whirlpools, fine dining, and oversize guest rooms, the Four Seasons Resort Whistler eases your way into whatever you want to do on your winter vacation getaway.

Things that make this resort such a pleasure for romantics is knowing that the ski concierge will transport your gear to the mountain so you don't have to schlep it yourself... enjoying early lift access as a guest... getting an open invitation to sit in on the fireside chats held with the Ski Elite team twice a week... signing up for telemarking and snowboarding clinics.... and having a staff that can arrange priority reservations at area restaurants.
