SCOUT REVIEW
Evolution provides a fantastic base for skiers who aren’t fussed about being right in the thick of the action at Whistler Village. It’s in a quieter and less hectic location than the party-centric main village, but it still retains a youthful vibe – making it the perfect choice for urbanites who appreciate modern conveniences.
Evolution is one of many great things that happened to Whistler thanks to the 2010 Winter Olympics (others include the upgraded slopes and mountain facilities, as well as the installation of the PEAK 2 PEAK gondola). Its Creekside Village position is perfect for skiers (see Legends Whistler for an area description) as it’s a mere one minute walk to the Creekside Express Gondola in the morning. And in the afternoon, you can nearly ski right up to the building via the bottom of the Dave Murray Downhill (not for beginners).
The condos themselves are a great size, and feature double-sided fireplaces (which front both the living and bedroom areas) to make them romantic and cozy. Each condo also has a full kitchen, as well as laundry appliances and private balcony. And all of the bedrooms have king beds – even the double rooms have two kings. There are unfortunately no twin bed options available, but sleeper sofas allow for additional guests. Condos feature valley and forest views which provide a lovely alpine feel to your ski vacation.
Meanwhile, the building also has many great facilities including a games room, media room (for watching movies), an outdoor pool, hot tubs, sauna, steam rooms, and a decent gym - everything you need for a self-catered stay.
Who should stay here
Evolution would suit groups of friends or couples wanting a modern, urban style condo away from all the noise of Whistler Village, yet close to the slopes.
Location
Evolution is located in Whistler Creekside, which is about 5-10 minutes’ drive to Whistler Village. It has direct access to Whistler Mountain via the Creekside Gondola. Evolution is also about a one minute walk in ski boots to the base of the mountain and the plaza area. Whistler is about a 2.5 hour drive from Vancouver airport.

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.
