Getaway: 48 hours in Whistler

A bustling mountainside village means one thing-doing après-ski in style.

3 p.m. Ride the gondola from the Village up to the Roundhouse Lodge, the bustling hilltop restaurant. Then board the Peak 2 Peak Gondola—the astounding 11-minute ride traverses the 4.4 kilometres between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, providing stunning views of more than 8,000 acres of snowy terrain.

4 p.m. For a different sort of après-ski experience, head to the new Scandinave Spa Whistler, a 20,000-square-foot spa located in a forest north of the Village. The grand Scandinavian-style retreat includes six separate buildings housing a dry sauna, steam bath, solariums, hot and cold baths, outdoor terraces and a 14-room massage pavilion.
