Price categories are based on January-to-April ski-season rates; prices can be higher during Christmas and spring break, but considerably lower in summer. Many properties require minimum stays, especially during the Christmas season. Also, Whistler Village has some serious nightlife: if peace and quiet are important to you, ask for a room away from the main pedestrian thoroughfares or stay in one of the residential neighborhoods outside the village. Whistler Central Reservations can help with lodgings and has accommodation information for the 2010 Olympics. 604/932-4222; 604/664-5625 in Vancouver; 800/944-7853 in U.S. and Canada. www.tourismwhistler.com.
