48 Hours in British Columbia

When it comes to powder skiing, not many ski resorts are as much of a “sure thing” as Whistler Blackcomb. Having spent the first days of December there, I can attest. While not the most convenient place to reach (at least, by East Coast standards), it was so worth the trip.

Touchdown, Vancouver

When you land after midnight, you can either power thru and drive the 90 minutes up to Whistler or you can treat yourself to a good night’s sleep at the Rosewood Georgia Hotel (rosewoodhotels.com/en/hotelgeorgia) [that’s the pool, left], located in the heart of the city. Its featherbed mattresses guarantee a great night’s sleep and its restaurant, Hawksworth (hawksworthrestaurant.com), is THE eatery of the moment.
