Recommended by locals, your favourite ski resort accessible from Vancouver.
 

Happy to get any thoughts and comments, have had Whistler Blackcomb and Sunshine recommended, any others ?looking for ski in ski out.

As I mentioned on your other thread, Sunshine is not at all near to Vancouver, and is in fact in Alberta, about an hour and a half's drive from Calgary.

If you are looking for ski-in ski-out, you can find it at Whistler, of course, and Sunshine has limited on-site accommodation.

As intermediate skiers, you'll find plenty at Whistler and Sunshine. Other B.C. resorts which would appeal to intermediates with ski-in ski out lodging are Panorama, Silver Star, Sun Peaks, Big White, and perhaps Fernie.

I should have mentioned that none of those resorts are particularly close to Vancouver. If that is your main criteria, then Whistler/Blackcomb is your only real choice.

I agree that Whistler/Blackcomb is the closest, being a 2 hour drive from Vancouver.

Sun Peaks (near Kamloops) has had good snow this year I have heard, and is about a 4 - 5 hour drive from Vancouver. It has a smaller, more European feel, more family friendly atmosphere. It is possible to ski in/out there as well.

Thanks for your help, sorry about the similar postings, just trying to grab some other perspectives.
