QB WHISTLER

Patricia & Joe

We are based in PalmDesert, CA and Whistler, BC and enjoy traveling as well so we always ave a place to share. We'd also love to have you enjoy a stay at our great home in Palm Desert, so check it out at  https://www.qbdesert.com/

Why we chose Whistler

We met in Whistler and consider it our favorite home.  We just wish we could stay here and make a living!  We love the Creekside area as it is quieter and more peaceful than the main village and makes an easier commute back to Vancouver.  We can walk everywhere and leave the big city life behind.  We purchased this townhome in 2002 and enjoyed many events during the 2010 Winter Olympics, especially the luge events at the Sliding Center.  Today the events we most enjoy along with the skiing are, the Scandinave Spa, Meadow Park Sports Centre for swimming and indoor skating, the Whistler Olympic Plaza for outdoor skating and of course Après with our family and friends at many of the bars in Whistler.  There is always great live music and fabulous refreshments for all ages.

​

What makes this townhouse unique

Our entire first floor has heated floors, we have a full wall of windows overlooking Creekside Village and Alpha lake. A larger hot water tank, air jetted tub, heated ski/bike/storage room, our own laundry facilities and a gas BBQ are just some of the amenities we have added to enjoy the great skiing that Whistler has to offer.

Whistler

​

The Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) has a permanent population of approximately 14,000 plus a larger but rotating "transient" population of workers, typically younger people from beyond British Columbia, notably from Australia and Europe.  Whistler is also one of the most-visited ski resort, often besting 3 million visitors a year.  The Village is 675 m (2,215 ft) above sea level.  Its pedestrian village has won numerous design awards and Whistler has been voted among the top destinations in North America by major ski magazines since the mid-1990s.  During the 2010 Winter Olympics, Whistler hosted most of the alpine, Nordic, luge, skeleton, and bobsled events, though freestyle skiing and all snowboarding events were hosted at Cypress Mountain near Vancouver.  Whistler was the Host Mountain Resort of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games, the first time the IOC has bestowed that designation on a community.  Whistler hosted the alpine technical and speed events, the sliding events at Fitzsimmons Creek, the Nordic events in the nearby Callaghan Valley and all the Paralympic events except the opening ceremonies, sledge hockey and wheelchair curling.
