Whistler Ski Trip

Whistler Fun Fact

Q) Where is the highest representation by population of Aussies in the world out side of Australia?
A) Whistler BC.

Trust me, when I say it is ALL Aussies in Whistler, I am not exaggerating. It is totally insane. Whistler is a funny little town, with an international town feel. There is a big distinction between people who have loads of cash and then the backpackers (Brits, Kiwies, Aussies and Quebecians) who obviously are working incredibly hard at crap paying jobs.

Whistler is just like everything you have ever heard about it. It is 30% more expensive than anywhere else in Canada, the population is 75% Aussies. There is something that makes me want to stay here, I think I understand why Allison (my sis) moved there. With most people it is the mountains however there is something else that makes you fall in love with the place. There's a great feeling there. Obviously the whole village is geared to tourists, yet it does not have that horrible over marketed feel that a lot of 'tourist' towns do have. It's open, friendly, absolutely stunning and I can't wait to spend more time there this summer!
