I have lived all my life in Europe and am a great fan of skiing and i am definitely going to come to Whistler next winter to sooth my passion. Tell me if there are any other resorts in Whistler other than Blackcomb resort. Also what duration should be an ideal visit for a tourist point of view. Also can you compare Whistler vs Alps.
