Just Back From Whistler

For me about two resorts represent completely different experiences, we now all know that the snow doesn't stop in Japan and you will get the deepest driest powder anywhere, but for anyone who has been there, Whistler on a perfect day under 40cm of fresh snow - it can be the stuff of dreams.

Whistler is huge, there are two mountains right next to each other, both with their own charm. Whistler with it’s back bowls and tree skiing and Blackcomb with it perfectly cut fall line super trails that induce leg burn to even the fittest skier or boarder. There are so many runs you'll need a season to get to all, some of the steepest runs in north America next to some of the longest easiest beginner runs around, the old cliché is true hear it really does have something for everyone.

Then after your ski day is through you have the village, with endless line of clothes and food shops with every themed restaurant and pub imaginable, the accommodation is built nicely around these shops so you have everything at your doorstep.

My trip in January turned out to be one I wouldn’t forget, the snow gods were shining and produced over 3 meters in the month which meant nearly every second day was a powder day.

However, the main reason I decided on Whistler over Japan, why I decided to take the risk was not for any of these things, the main reason Whistler is a must for any snow lover are the Buffalo Wings with ranch sauce at Merlins Bar, sure Japan has the sushi, Austria has Gluwein, Aspen has the rich and famous but none of these compare to these tasty little fried chicken wing with a strange white dipping sauce.

So when you are deciding where to go on your next ski holiday add buffalo wings to your must have things.
