WHISTLER, CANADA  #9 Top Family Vacation Destination

Where There is Snow ... There Are Snow Angels

Thinking of family and snow at the same time, the image of snow angels come to mind. Looking at Whistler webcams, I see snow, ... in my mind's eye, snow angels appear!

#9 Top Family Vacation Destination

This ski area is world-renowned for its slopes. But what many travelers may not realize is Whister's ability to host families with children! With daycare centers, children’s ski school, and specialty instructors for young people, your little snow angels will be just as occupied as adults.

Proving true, Whistler was voted Best International Family Ski Resort by Out & About and earned the Kids Readers Choice Awards in 2013. Also named as one of the 10 Best Family Ski Resorts by the Family Vacation Critic with Trip Adviser in 2012, this area is sure to please families with children.

With an abundance of kid-friendly resorts and vacation rentals, you will not have any problems accommodating each family member's wants and need on your ski vacation to Whistler.

Transportation Options In and Around Town

You most likely will fly into a major airport such as Vancouver International, Seattle, or Bellingham, Washington. Make your way to this world-renowned ski area from the airport by rent car, bus services like Greyhound and Snowbus, or pre-booked Whistler shuttles. If coming from Vancouver, take the Whistler Mountaineer train or hire a taxi from Whistler Resort Cabs. If you choose a rental car, get to Whistler by taking the Sea to Sky Highway. In town, you may get around by bicycle, on foot, taxi or use the public transit system, WAVE.
