I'm going there next week for a ski vacation. Has anyone been there and does anyone have restaurants to recommend? I'm having a hard time finding reviews.

thanks for any suggestions!

The NY Times (http://travel2.nytimes.com/2005/12/02/travel/escapes/02hours.html?pagewanted=2&ei=5070&en=59130429d990734a&ex=1165899600&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1165802350-s5J3X9UEP0GQB6f5sRcvcA) did an article on the town in the Travel section that looks pretty good.

thanks! That's better than what I could find. I'm trying to avoid the tourist trap restaurants.

Fun Fact: Ski School (starring Norman native Dean Cameron) was filmed in Whistler.

If you want to be the best, you must lose your mind...

never seen it - but the info on IMDB reminds me of "Hot Dog" - an 80's flashback.

It was actually on Showtime Saturday night. I was legitimately giddy.

You may be able to disqualify us, but you can't stop us from doing...THE LAMBADA!!!

I would LOVE to go to Whistler. But I haven't been.

Sorry. No help.

I CAN give some good Breckenridge suggestions. Doesn't really apply here.

OK. Carry on.

Where's Breckenridge? That sounds really familiar to me.

and where have you been boarding/skiing Soonerboarder?

Where's Breckenridge?

:les: BLASPHEME!




I've been to Breckenridge, Wolf Creek, Angel Fire, Copper Mountain, and a really crappy place in Sapphire, North Carolina. I'd like to go other places, but I like Breckenridge too much.

Breckenridge is decent, but Winter Park is probably the best in CO. It has everything, it is a huge park.

ah! sorry! didn't mean to be blasphemous.;) I haven't been there yet. Still novice to "travel" skiing.

I've been to Telluride and Sun Valley, though. Telluride was my favorite.
