Whistler is expensive. We (my son and I) stayed for one night last summer and the tab was $750 for one day all in!!!!! That didn't even include a dinner at Araxi or something like it but I did buy him a Ziptrek tour. My son really liked Whistler. He's 21 right now. I saw a Travelzoo local deal that was $250 for a two night stay at the Pan Pacific Mountainside, including two Peak 2 Peak gondola passes and one day bike rentals for a studio suite with fireplace and full kitchen. I asked my son if he was interested in going and he said he was, so I bought it. Parking was another $25 per day so add another $50. We're up to $300 now and I haven't left the gate... :-)
