Reaping the Rewards of Whistler
The secret to life in the mountains is flow. This is why you hear Whistler locals saying, “dude that was literally the best day ever,” almost every day, most of the year. They found the flow, and they’re catching all the rewards. Similar to how those big coastal snowstorms wash over the peaks and swirl into every bowl, ridgeline and valley, fluidity is essential to discovering the ultimate Whistler experience: you find the flow, pick a line, ride it out and reap the rewards. The trick to flow is recognizing the details when everything falls into place, and staying in that groove. Whether it’s first chair on a pow day, front row parking when you’re actually super late to the hill, or a random gondola ride with your favourite athlete/musician/film director, when something awesome happens to you in Whistler the secret is to enjoy it completely, and let that experience influence the next one, and the one after that. It takes practise of course, but to get Whistler guests used to recognizing the rewards of mountain living before they even hit town, the team players at Whistler. com invented something called Whistler Rewards (also known as “Good Deals and Free Stuff club”). Here’s how it works: anyone who lives in BC or Washington State can sign up for exclusive offers, deals and special benefits. This means anything from discounts at hotels and activities to shopping coupons and other special promotions. And when Whistler Rewards members book five nights accommodation through Whistler.com, they receive a $50 credit. “It’s a special program for our friends and neighbours in BC and Washington,” says Lindsay Leathem at Whistler.com. “These are the people who love coming to Whistler—many of them have been coming for years and helped build this place. This is a way to give them some love.” Can’t argue with that. And while the Whistler Rewards program has been up and running since 2015, it continues to evolve and grow. So come to Whistler, find the flow and reap the rewards. Visit whistler.com/ rewards for more.
