The white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies served in the mountain restaurants are sublime. If you want to try a regional speciality, chocolatey Nanaimo bars are super sweet and packed with sugar - clearly an essential energy-boosting snack.

No trip to Whistler is complete without a visit to Shakespeare’s pie shop
– it’s hands down the best spot for a snack in town.

They offer a mouthwatering selection of freshly made pies, and it’s great value for money. It’s very popular locally, and you’ll often spot some of Whistler’s many resident top pro skiers and snowboarders in there.

This is an excellent après-ski hang out for drinks and appertisers or a great place to go for some dancing and good DJ breaks late into the night.

Located in the Whistler Gondola building. Take the stairs on the side of the building next to the ski run up to the bar

Excellent food, excellent service and great atmosphere. A five-star dinner without all of the fluff puff of a stuff city restaurant. A two course dinner will including wine for two people will run at about 100 Canadian dollars (around £50).

This restaurant is located right in the heart of the Village. The food is good and reasonably priced, although the best thing about Citta's is the patio - it's the perfect spot to people watch.

The best restaurant in Whistler and definitely worth the price. An amazing atmosphere with extremely friendly staff. The interior is tastefully decorated, the French and Italian food creations are outstanding, and the wine list is exceptional. An up-market restaurant definitely worth visiting.

This restaurant offers great food and very friendly service for a reasonable price. You can choose from Mediterranean style food, American food or Pacific coast dishes and salad. There is an expansive bar that offers wonderful cocktails. A fantastic location to watch ice-hockey games.

Fantastic stir fry restaurant in the heart of Whistler Village. Super friendly staff, fantastic cocktails and wonderful food. Out of an amazing selection of food you choose your own ingredients, then watch as it gets prepared before your eyes by the chef. A truly fun and tasty experience.

Poutine is potato chips in gravy with cheese. You eat this at Whistler because you can't afford to eat anything else.

Just opposite the Whislter/Blackcomb chair lift.

A trip to Whistler is seen as an almost compulsory part of visiting Vancouver. Having been in the city three months I decided it was really time I tried the famously beautiful ski resort for myself.

Having never skied or snowboarded (Salford never did get round to that ski resort...) I was confident that the 2days I was going to be there could be filled with other outdoorsy activities or maybe a beginners lesson on the slopes.

However, what the guide books forget to mention is the incredible cost of Whistler. This is seriously a rich mans playground. While hostels like the Shoestring Lodge provide reasonable accommodation and the bus to and from Vancouver is relatively cheap and regular, pretty much every other activity is shockingly overpriced.

When we did begrudgingly settle on paying $100 to go white water rafting, we were informed that there wasnt enough interested parties to make a group. So, instead, we settled for overpriced average sushi and an early bus back to Vancouver.
In Whistler, BC really does mean Bring Cash.

The Mongolie Grill is a family owned restaurant specialising in stir-fry food, and it’s perhaps the best Asian cuisine in town. The drinks list is good with a great range of beers and cocktails, and the service is always very good. It’s right in the centre of Whistler Village.

A fantastic restaurant just south of Whistler village. Quite pricey but the seafood and game menu is broad and the results are more than worth it. Caribou is an interesting thing to try, it's like super-charged venison, and the ahi tuna is also pretty spectacular. Booking recommended as it gets full.

Running from the Saddle on Whistler Mountain at the top, to Creekside at the bottom the series of connected runs known locally as Peak to Creek is a wonderful experience. Start with a challenging leap off the Saddle and finish with the Dave Murray Downhill (the run chosen as the men's downhill for the Whistler Winter Olympics in 2010), it has a huge range of fun and exciting ski conditions in between.

Take it at your own pace and time it for late morning or early afternoon so that you can reward yourself with lunch on the sun deck at Dusty's Bar. From here you can look back up the mountain and see the Saddle again - some 5,000 ft above you and over four miles away.
