Amazing Whistler
by Barbora Misakova


If you are one of those who are tired from city, cars, its smell and constant noise you will probably welcome a change. Even though there is probably only few places on this planet where you could be completely alone, there are still places where people won't interrupt you but help you to feel more comfortable and relaxed. One of such places has name Whistler Village. First of all I should probably tell you it is not such isolated place, actually it is a center which has its own town hall, fire and police station, you can even find there museum, library, shops and go for a lunch into more than 90 restaurants. Now you are probably saying: "OK but I want to take a rest, I don't want to talk to people what, honestly, I am doing whole the time I am in the city." But I think as soon as you see this place you will love doesn't matter how many people is there! Whistler is a city and a part of ski center Whistler Blackcomb in Canadian British Columbia. It has more than 9 thousand inhabitants and more than 2 million visitors come here during a year. This little city lies about 44 kilometers from the city Squamish and these days it is known as one of the best ski resorts in North America. Ski season usually starts in November and ends sometimes in June & for skiing is used higher Blackcomb Mountain. However if you are one of those who love to ski in the summer then this place would be a heaven for you, because summer skiing and snowboarding season is scheduled to run through July. Of course you don't have to ski all the time. This place is known also for its great mountain-biking conditions. So what do you think? Are you ready to visit this incredible place? If you do, prepare your wallets, this place is not called gorgeous paradise just like that! Only standard daily lift ticket costs $ 81, and if you wanna learn how to ski & one group lesson for adults including lift ticket costs $ 77. The fact there is everything what a man could need during his holidays makes this place quite expensive. This place besides this also won Livable Communities Award in 2005 and in 2010 it should be the place where Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will take place. If my words still didn't persuade you about the unique of this place go and convince yourself on your own.
