The snow season is long gone, but summer Whistler adventures await!
stay
Avoid the hustle and bustle (and raunchy bachelor parties) by staying
lakeside at the peaceful Nita
Lake Lodge. Nestled on the shores of a glacier-fed lake, this
stunning hotel is ideal for weekend getaways. Chef Michael Guy
cultivates his own rooftop garden to prepare the freshest and most
delectable meals at the lodges Aura
restaurant. 2131 Lake Placid Rd., Whistler, 604-966-5700, www.nitalakelodge.com
play
The tiny and picturesque Nita Lake is a great place to challenge
yourself with a paddle-boarding lesson from Sea to Sky Kiteboarding
[seatoskykiteboarding.com]. Its kind of like surfing, but way easier. On
the flip side, you may fall into the lake, like I did. But thats part of
the fun.
play more
The ski season may be over, but theres no reason not to take advantage
of the lovely white glacier peaks. Develop superhero status by doing a
tough glacier hike with Whistler
Alpine Guides Bureau. Its an unforgettable experience.
pamper
Hard play should be followed by fine spoils. That would include an il
Kundalini Massage at the Nita Lake Lodge Spa. This relaxing 75-minute
massage is designed to relax and balance the whole nervous system with
ancient massage techniques and chakra healing. Just what youll need.
eat
In the evening, head down to the Village and check out one of its newest
restaurants, Alta Bistro. Chef Nick Cassettari specializes in seasonal
west coast fare, elevated further with its sustainable wine list and
innovative cocktails. Im still dreaming about the Alpindon Cheese &
Sourdough Bread Puddingyes, fully deserved after that glacier hike. Alta
Bistro, #104 – 4319 Main St., Whistler, 604-932-2582, www.altabistro.com
