MAD DOG SKI LAUNCHES WHISTLER GUIDE
This season, Mad Dog Ski, the insider's guide to some of the world's finest ski resorts, launched its first non-European guide - Whistler.
Available to purchase on maddogski.com and through stockists including Amazon, Snow+Rock and Stanfords for just £8, Mad Dog Ski's guide to Whistler provides skiers and snowboarders with the insider knowledge on one of the world's most popular resorts. The venue for the 2010 winter Olympics, Whistler is also consistently ranked as North America's top winter sports resort and is a favourite destination for British skiers.
The tenth book in the Mad Dog Ski range, the Whistler book contains an in-depth guide to everything that skiers need to know once in resort. As with all Mad Dog Ski destination guides, it provides first-hand knowledge on all aspects of a snow-sports holiday, both on and off the mountain. Unique features include:
Trail ranking - awarding trails one to three stars (easy to difficult), the trail ranking allows skiers and boarders to plan their routes more confidently
Detailed Mad Dog day trips - each trip is designed to help skiers and boarders explore a new ski area, and also provides recommended lunch and après-ski stops
Detailed reviews of Whistler's mountain restaurants
Independent reviews of restaurants, après-ski and nightlife in-resort
Other things to do - very popular, this gives non-skiing visitors the full low-down on how to have just as much fun off the mountain as on it!
A separate children section - including childcare options, recommended children's ski schools and off the mountain activities.
With the new Whistler guide, this season Mad Dog Ski offers 10 guides:
