What to wear
Whistler is a very friendly place so you could ask most any hotel for
information. Also there is some information on the link below. http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/plan/winter.asp I really enjoyed Whistler and after skiing fare was a big part of that. John "Jez Harper" wrote in message ... Did you have difficulty understanding the original post? A what point did it say anything about 'fitting in'? All I wanted to know is whether I would be allowed in to places wearing jeans and a ski jacket. How is that shallow and insecure? I think that these are acceptable questions from someone who has never been to Whistler before! "stuart" wrote in message news:L_grb.32634$%Q5.12543@edtnps84... "Jez Harper" wrote in message ... Well, I'd wear what I felt like if I was going to places where I would have to mingle with people like you, but I think I'd like to go to more exclusive places! PS. You must feel a bit shallow and insecure if you feel that what you wear is the critical factor in determining whether or not you "fit in" in these exclusive places. This is Canada, bloke.

What do I wear on my feet when I am not skiing? Snow boots? hiking boots? Trainers? Also, are jeans and ski jackets acceptable when going out in the evening? Cheers Jez What planet are you from? Last time I checked Whistler BC was in Canada. You wear what the **** you feel comfortable in. What they gonna do? Some minimum wage lackey maitre'd (from Australia working at whistler for the season) gonna tell you that you aren't "appropriately dressed". They might get away with that in the UK, but not here. The management would worry about getting sued for discrimination. Hey! Try wearing a turban:-) |

I think that these are acceptable questions from someone who has never been to Whistler before! OK OK, Jeb, surely I jest, but, if it's at your expense (and it was) I apologize. Whistler is a ski town. Period. It has no other raison d'etre. Before the village, there was just the mountain, then came the lifts and the restaurants on the mountain. Most of the bars and eateries cater to the skiers and boarders. Generally, ski jackets are OK. You might want to dude up in some nice "apres-ski" sweater/vests for the bulk of the places. Jeans and raggy clothes might be OK ate "Zog's Dogs", but you wouldn't look out of place in a jacket and tie at the Westin Hotel. I wouldn't go sluuming at the Westin, you'd feel uncomfortable. Generally, however, Whistler is a pretty casual, but slightly upscale place compared to other Western Canadian resorts, but I wouldn't call it an Apne a Vail or a val 'Isere as far as pretentiousness is concerned. Hope that helps.... "stuart" wrote in message news:L_grb.32634$%Q5.12543@edtnps84... "Jez Harper" wrote in message ...
