Checking out Whistler
My first surprise as we arrive in Whistler is its size. I heard so much about it that I expected something really big and buzzing. I drive through the town so quickly that I have to turn around and go back. I’m already out thinking it was just entering. I expected something big, what a surprise. I park the car and walk in town to check it out.
Second surprise, the size of the ski resort (Whistler and Blackcomb). Coming from Mount Washington, I can understand why this may seem like a big resort, but coming from Europe, and after hearing so much about it, the first word that comes to my mind is “small”.
On the positive side, being famous and all I expected Whistler to be crowded, not at all. Of course, it would probably be different during a WE and after a few days of snow, but today I find it rather quiet, which is great to stroll in the streets.
