Why Recommended
If you are coming to Whistler for the skiing and want to stay on the slope in a nice place without paying Whistler village rates then these are the places for you. Both lodges are both great for families with young kids as the Creekside ski school is located right next door which is definitely convenient. If, however, you think you’ll be in the main village area quite a lot we can likely find something that has a better location.
Location
Legends and First Tracks are located in Creekside which is the smaller village located 5 mins south of the main village. These two hotels were completed in 2003 and are the cornerstone of the impressive developments in Whistler Creekside. Both hotels are adjacent to the Creekside gondola which couldn't be more ski-in ski-out. It is important to note that although the Creekside base is getting better by the day it still does not offer as many services or restaurants as the main village area.
Rooms
Legends is the more value oriented of the two lodges. First Tracks offers larger three bedroom suites with more lavish furnishings including a media room. These properties share a front desk and pool.
There are one, two and three bedroom suites in both Legends and First Tracks. First Tracks also has one four bedroom suite. Each unit features a full kitchen and spacious living areas. Daily housekeeping is available at First Tracks, but not at Legends.
