Selling Values - continue to be soft. Listing inventory remains high for most Property-Types. Buyer demand is low to moderate depending on the "Property-Type."

Whistler Blackcomb is not opening the high alpine this weekend.  Here's why:   Controlled avalanche in Harmony Zone - November 25, 2011   Controlled avalanche in Harmony Zone - November 25, 2011 Residual snowpack from last season, heavy snowfall over the last 2 weeks and high winds in the alpine have created challenging avalanche conditions. The above photos are of a controlled avalanche that occurred in Harmony Zone on Whistler Mountain. This area is currently outside Whistler Blackcomb's Temporary Ski Area Boundary.

Whistler Sabbatical Project offers the ultimate experience: Live the Whistler dream

Whistler, B.C. - Tourism Whistler has launched the most exciting contest in the history of the resort, with an ultimate prize package that cannot be purchased: an invitation to experience the Whistler dream. Launching this week is the Whistler Sabbatical Project: One month in Whistler. Expenses paid. Airfare, accommodation, lift passes, ski/ snowboard equipment, plus a series of extraordinary experiences. Who wouldn't want to spend a month at North America's premier ski destination? It might seem like a no-brainer but Tourism Whistler recognizes that, for most people, there are many obstacles that make it impossible to un-plug from day-to-day life for an entire month.

Each Tuesday for the next 15 weeks, the Whistler Sabbatica...
