Cedar Ridge offers one of the best ski-in, ski-out locations in Whistler. Situated directly underneath the Excalibur Gondola, just above the top of the Village, these townhomes offer spacious accommodation in a quiet setting with enviably easy access to the slopes.

Unit 13 is a pleasing 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home with a private hot tub. Perfect for a family with 3-4 kids, it has a king bed in the master and two sets of twin bunks in the other bedrooms. The living room/entertainment area features a modern, fully-equipped kitchen, a spacious dining area and a sunken seating area around the stone-faced wood-burning fireplace. The master bedroom is upstairs and the two additional bedrooms, plus 2 bathrooms, are downstairs.

The local area

Whistler has been the number 1 rated ski resort in North America for the last 8 years in a row. Two mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb, rise up a mile out of the valley (1,609 metres/ 5,280 vertical feet) and access over 7,000 acres of prime mountain terrain - including 12 alpine bowls, three glaciers and more than 200 marked trails - via 33 lifts. The lifts have a capacity of nearly 60,000 skiers per hour. If you want a rest from the skiing there are 18 different restaurants on the mountain.

Average snowfall is over 30 feet or 9 metres per year, and the season lasts all the way from November through to August.
