For a perfect blend of luxury and convenience, look no further than The Aspens and Woodrun Lodge. Perfect for groups or families visiting Whistler, you’ll find yourself only a snowball’s throw away from the foot of the Blackcomb Gondola. And, after a long day of conquering the slopes, unwind in a slope-side pool or outdoor heated hot tub.
