Whistler Blackcomb - Après-ski

There is a good selection of lively venues for après-ski in Whistler, including the legendary Longhorn Saloon and the Garibaldi Lift Company (GLC) at the main base, Merlin's at the Blackcomb Day Lodge and Dusty's at the foot of the Creekside gondola.

The partying continues into the night at several clubs. The free Pique NewsMagazine lists all the best deals and gigs.

Eating out: 

On the mountains, there's a mixture of large canteen-style restaurants serving typical North American fare and a clutch of smaller huts with hot drinks, soup and snacks. There are also a couple of full-service restaurants on the slopes.

Restaurants in Whistler Village itself cater to all budgets and tastes. For fine dining, try Araxi, 4222 Village Square (tel: (604) 932 4540; www.araxi.com), or the Bearfoot Bistro, 4121 Village Green (tel: (604) 932 3433; www.bearfootbistro.com). If you're looking for offerings from cuisines across the globe, the popular Sachi Sushi, 106-4359 Main Street (tel: (604) 935 5649; www.sachisushi.com) Japanese restaurant serves inventive sushi rolls. The chefs at the Mongolie Grill, 201-4295 Blackcomb Way (tel: (604) 938 9416; www.mongoliegrill.com) meanwhile, whip up your choice of stir-fry ingredients. The innovative Elements Urban Tapas Parlour, 4359 Main Street (tel: (604) 932 5569; www.wildwoodrestaurants.ca), offers a Canadian-inspired small-plate menu.

For snacks, Moguls, 203-4204 Village Square (tel: (604) 932 4845), serves up enormous fresh muffins and wraps big enough to keep you going throughout the whole ski day.
