Whistler Accommodation – Ski In/Out Pros & Cons
Vacation rentals in Whistler Blackcomb come in all types of different shapes, sizes, & locations. Guests have the option to stay near the village action, in a quieter residential area, or directly on the ski hill with ski in/out accommodations. This article will focus specifically on the pros & cons of Whistler ski in/out accommodation.
Pros:
Avoid the parking wars:Guests will not need to search for parking as they will already be located at their destination.
Get on the mountain faster: Ski in/out accommodation allows guests to enjoy the luxury of skiing down to the lifts. No labour intensive gear-hauling required.
Get off the mountain faster: Skiing and snowboarding can take up large amounts of the body’s energy; therefore, what better way to call it a day than to quickly ski-into your unit where you can be soaking in a hot tub within minutes.
Cons:
Inconvenient for non skiers/boarders: While you may be happily skiing down the mountain, there could be non-skiing/boarding guests in your party who will have to travel further to access the amenities in the Village.
Impractical during non-skiing seasons: During the off-season, there is no advantage for being located on the mountainside. Slopeside accommodation during this time of the year can be considered more of a liability than anything else.
Expensive: Due to the increased demand, prices for ski in/ski out accommodation are typically higher than most other locations in Whistler Blackcomb. For the same nightly rate, some guests might prefer the added amenities featured in some properties further away from the slopes.
