A place for snow angels, hot tubs

Want a good winter holiday? If so, I suggest you book flights straight away because where you will actually want to go by the end of this article, will be fully booked in no time.

The ideal place for you is Whistler, Canada. It has one of the best resorts in the world, with great snow and, the best part is, you can just walk out of your hotel and the ski lifts are right there. Let me guess, you think you are “too good” or not good enough at skiing, well that is not a problem, for less advanced skiers there are really good ski classes for all ages. I learnt how to ski a black run (one of the hardest ski pistes) after my first five days with the ski school. And if you are a good skier, there are terrain parks, double blacks, and even offsite skiing with the smoothest powder imaginable.

So what is special about this place? Well there is a really idyllic village at the bottom of the ski pistes where everything is in walking distance. There are so many things to do there after a fun day of skiing (or snowboarding) that vary from going to a night club or a cinema to eating at exquisite restaurants. And if going out isn’t your thing, there are private jacuzzis on your balcony at the hotel, where you can relax in the hot tub watching the beauty of the mountain and the stars. If you are up to it, and you want an adrenaline rush, you can take a step out of the warm water where you can mime a freezing snow angel in the snow and then jump back into the jacuzzi to the soothing hot water.
