Whistler’s
bustling village is justifiably famous for its fast and occasionally frenetic
pace, but until now those desiring to enjoy the area’s bounty sans the bustle
have been out of luck. The newly opened 77-suite Nita
Lake Lodge, adjacent to the railway station and nestled on the shores of pristine
Nita Lake, seeks to change that. Though only a 500-yard shuttle ride to the 2010
Olympic downhill runs, the hotel is a world apart from the village scene while
still providing its guests with the boutique xperience (right down to the soon-to-be-opened
Station spa). And when the snow retreats, canoeing and fly-fishing are right at
your door.—Lucas Aykroyd |
