Nita Wonderland

Ski and Relax at Nita Lake Lodge

- CAROLINE HELBIG

Some like ripping down powdery slopes. Others prefer lounging by a roaring fireplace. At Nita Lake Lodge, guests get the best of both action and relaxation. This season, experience Whistler’s stunning lakeside retreat.

“We call it ‘Nita Wonderland,’” says Nancy Steward, Marketing & Communicat­ions Manager at Nita Lake Lodge. “Every day brings a new and breathtaki­ng view.” Steward gets to see Nita’s frozen lake and Whistler’s snowy mountains on a daily basis and she is still in total awe.

Nita Lake Lodge is only 500 metres from Whistler’s Creekside Gondola, but its serene setting feels far removed from the bustle of a world-class ski resort. “You can experience all the amazing amenities of Whistler and then return to our peaceful retreat for après ski, dining with a view, and full-service spa all under one roof,” says Steward.

The lodge caters to skiers and non-skiers with amenities like ski lockers at the base of Creekside, compliment­ary snowshoes, and a year-round plunge pool and hot tub. The spa offers winter favourites like hot stone massage, and the ultimate in pampering—a five-hour “winter spa day.”

Whether you’ve carved up the slopes or immersed yourself in a good book, you’ll love Nita Après at Cure Lounge. Soak up the views, hot drink in hand, by an outdoor fireplace. Later, feast on local delicacies at casually elegant Aura.

Often, winter getaways can leave you exhausted. “Our goal is for guests to return to everyday life feeling relaxed and refreshed while having experience­d all the beauty and adventure that winter in Whistler offers,” says Steward.

Treat yourself to Nita Wonderland. Book now for late winter or early spring to enjoy Whistler’s longer days and epic snow base. Rates start at $259. Visit www. nitalakelo­dge.com, or call 1-888755-6482.
