The Creekside village is a planned, pedestrian-only quaint village steps away from the gondola. We either cook or order in with the WhistlerDineIn app. If we do go out one night, we drive to the main village. Because we have young kids, we tend to eat in so the lack of restaurants isn’t an issue. There’s a Starbucks in Creekside village as well as a bakery. There’s also the popular Rimrock Café, which we have yet to try. There’s Dusty’s in Legends which is okay. The one downside of Creekside is it doesn’t offer many restaurants. It really is a well done third village in the Whistler area. Moreover, it offers everything you need and it’s all very easy to walk to. What struck me most the first time we stayed at Creekside (in a house in the Kadenwood neighborhood with its own gondola into Creekside) was how quaint the village is. In fact, Creekside is a smallish area so many of the accommodations are within walking distance of the Creekside gondola. Many of them are walking distance to the gondola.

We can walk the 75 yards to meet the instructor, drop our kids off, and hit the slopes right out of Creekside. Our solution this time was to get private instructors for our kids who will ski out of Creekside so we don’t have to drive anywhere first thing in the morning. We had to drive them to Blackcomb every morning which was unfortunate. Last year the Whistler kids in Creekside was closed at the last minute so our kids skied out of Blackcomb. My guess is it’s due to fewer people going to Whistler and staff shortage. The only thing is that last year and this coming year, it’s not in operation due to Covid. Whistler Kids ski camp and lessonsĬreekside offers a Whistler Kids ski camp location as well which is awesome. We get a three-bedroom unit in First Tracks Lodge for the same price that a one-bedroom suite would cost in the Fairmont (Blackcomb) or Westin (Whistler Village). All three offer large accommodations which is why we love it. The three hotels are owned by the same company. The third hotel is Evolution which is still very close to the Gondola you can walk to the gondola with your gear. Both are steps away from the gondola so if you’re staying in Creekside, those are the best two hotels. Legends is on one side of the gondola and First Tracks Lodge the other. We stay in First Tracks Lodge which is part of the Legends Hotel but a separate building.

The other option is you are permitted to take the gondola down the mountain which we also did. That said, our then five year old son, who was somewhat of a beginner did just fine on those runs although it took quite a while.
