By far Whistler, very nice village and great shopping. The only draw back is you have to fly into Vancouver and it is a ride from Vancouver to Whistler. When I was there, they were doing a lot of road work to get ready for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The Westin Resort & Spa, Whistler
4090 Whistler Way ˇ Whistler, British Columbia

Le Westin Resort & Spa, Tremblant, Quebec
100 Chemin Kandahar ˇ Mont Tremblant, Quebec

The Westin Trillium House, Blue Mountain
220 Mountain Drive ˇ Collingwood, Ontario

Thanks much,

The OP is flying anyway, and the drive from YVR to Whistler is no worse than the drive from YYZ to Collingwood. Whistler is a slam dunk.

I had a very good time along with my family in Best Ski Resort Condos, the staff here at SkiResorts are a collection of skiers, snowboarders, and ski town enthusiasts who have a passion and love for the ski resorts they cover. And they hope they can help you enjoy them too!
