You lift your goggles as a brisk wind brushes your face. Jagged, snow-capped peaks surround you, stretching out as far as the eye can see. You could linger here at the top of the world, taking in the wondrous sights, but that's not why you came. Goggles back in place, you push off.
The speed of your descent surprises you at first. Your heart races as you carve your way down, down and still further down. By the end of your first thousand feet, you're pushing yourself to go even faster. You are the master of every turn, every jump. By the end of your second thousand, your thighs start to ache. At the end of your third, you can only begin to make out the roof of your hotel below. By now your thighs feel like rocks, but between breaths, you're already thinking, "Tonight. Hot. Stone. Massage. Tomorrow. Helicopter. Into. Backcountry."
There's always another hill to conquer, another outdoor adventure to be found in the mountain playground that is Whistler. And when you're done for the day, you'll find all kinds of entertainment, fine-dining and personal pampering to keep you charged up and ready for more. No doubt, you'll discover your own reasons for rating this the #1 ski resort in North America.
