Had an awesome trip to Whistler for our family of four in Jan 2023. All the details were looked after; transfers to and from Vancouver were punctual and very comfortable, apartment accommodation was perfect and advice on a guide for our first day to help navigate our way around was fantastic.
When I had a minor question about our ski hire arrangements, the team were on top of it and were very quick to respond (despite it being outside normal business hours).
Canadian Ski Vacations’ local knowledge helped us get the most out of our visit.
Thank you!!
