SCOUT REVIEW
The Northern Lights townhouses located on Whistler Mountain are ideal for group and family ski vacations thanks to their spacious layout, full kitchens, comfortable bedrooms and additonal extras that will make your trip one to remember for a lifetime.
Each unit at Northern Lights has been individually furnished with a variety of styles available. However, even though each home is slightly different, you can be assured that all are well-equipped with full gourmet kitchens, lounges with modern entertainment equipment and fireplaces and open-plan living and dining areas so that you are able to spend valuable time together. Some units also boast games rooms, or TV studios so that kids can hang out and watch a movie while parents relax elsewhere. Some Northern Lights townhouses also include their own private hot tub so you can unwind with a soak after a day on the slopes. Scout loves the flexible bedding, with plenty of twin beds and bunk beds for families.
The Northern Lights townhouses are situated above the Westin hotel in Whistler, with step access directly to the slopes. Guests can then ski all the way back down to these stairs when they want to return to the house. Note: they are a decent set of stairs so might not be suitable for the smallest kids or those not willing to work up a sweat before they start skiing.
The townhomes are also around 10 minutes walk from the main village of Whistler which has ski lifts, bars, restaurants, shops and a wealth of other amenities. A car is recommended for families who seek convenience - there is no shuttle bus to this area.
The Northern Lights units are an ideal option for large families and groups who are a bit more self-sufficient and want a little more of a luxurious townhouse stay.
Who should stay here
The Northern Lights townhouses are perfect for large families and groups who are seeking spacious, luxurious self-catered ski accommodation in Whistler.
Location
Northern Lights is located just 10 minutes uphill walk from the main village of Whistler and can be found just above the Westin Resort and Spa. The townhouses have step access to Whistler Blackcomb ski slopes - though it is quite a hike with 100 steps.. A ski valet service can be used for a fee at the Westin or guests can walk down to the village to connect with lifts and ski shuttles there. There is no shuttle bus service to this area so if you're not keen to walk you will need a car or be catching taxis.

About Whistler Blackcomb
Whistler is spectacular in many ways. Whether it’s the two gigantic mountains delivering more than 8000ac (3237ha) of skiing, the jaw-dropping scenery, a village life that puts most major cities to shame or terrain that is steep enough to give even the most extreme skiers an adrenaline rush, you will never be short of being amazed at Whistler. Long the favorite of skiers everywhere, Whistler became even more famous when it hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics and showed itself off to the world. Whether you’re a family of beginners or training to be an instructor, anyone will have a blast at Whistler.
