Lost Lake Lodge by Whistler Premier

Lost Lake Lodge is located on the edge of the scenic Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club, less than a mile from Blackcomb Whistler Ski Resort. Lost Lake is perfect for families looking for a peaceful crash-pad away from the hustle and bustle of Whistler Village (and its sometimes-noisy nightlife). No need to try and beat the ski traffic thanks to a convenient free shuttle that will whisk you and your crew right up to the resort. Hop aboard and in less than fifteen minutes you’ll arrive at SKI Magazine’s #1 ski destination in North America (three years running!). At the ski village, Whistler Premier partners with Affinity Sports to bring you deals on ski and snowboard rentals. Once everyone has their ski boots strapped on and jackets zipped up, head out to the lifts and hit the powder. There’s 40 different lifts between Whistler and Blackcomb, including the revolutionary Peak 2 Peak Gondola connecting the two so you ride the best of both mountains. Once your crew is snowed out, catch the shuttle back to Lost Lake. When you return from the slopes, get changed into swimsuits, grab towels and hit the outdoor hot tub to soothe any sore muscles or go for a swim in the circular heated pool. No need to worry about freezing your feet, the pool deck is heated!

Studio, one- and two-bedroom rentals are clean and bright with alpine touches, sleeping four to six guests comfortably. You’ll appreciate a full kitchen for whipping up home-cooked meals, and because full-fridge trumps mini-fridge any day of the week. Save a trip to Starbucks and brew your own morning coffee for your daily caffeine fix– those $4 coffees add up fast. Don’t worry about cleaning the dishes by hand (remember, you’re on vacation), there’s a dishwasher in the kitchen. The spacious living area is perfect for game nights and movie marathons. When your vacation is over, the last thing you’ll want to do is laundry. Thankfully, there’s a washer/dryer in each suite, so when you arrive home all you’ll have to do is unpack.

The quaint, chalet-style Whistler Village is pedestrian-only and offers outlet shopping, fine dining and a lively aprés scene. Treat yourself to a facial, massage or signature mud treatment at Avello Spa or with a stop at The Pandora Store at Whistler Village Centre. Surprise the kids with lunch at Fat Tony’s Pizza. Order a traditional pie or get creative and build your own. Challenge the kids to see who can make the most unique – yet edible – flavor. Browse for a souvenir at Bear Necessities, which has nature-themed accessories, clothing and gifts. Get in touch with your inner Tara Lipinski at Olympic Plaza’s ice skating rink. Thinking grownups-only night out? Sign up for the bi-weekly Whistler Club Crawl for a tour of the best nightlife in Whistler.
