We have experienced our first sprinkling of snow here in Whistler, and the excitement for the winter season ahead is palpable! Whistler in October is an idyllic fall destination, and the perfect time to come and search for your dream home.

With food and drink festivals going ahead, and a month-long Turkey Sidewalk Sale, Whistler is the place to be this October. Come and enjoy the gorgeous fall colors on the trees lining Whistler’s extensive Valley Trail network. Fall provides plenty of hiking and biking opportunities – without the crowds!

Come to Whistler and eat like a local. In the fall, Whistler’s amazing local restaurants offer their famous “local’s specials” of 3, 4, and 5-course meals, all for under $50! This year, October is Whistler Craft Beer Month. Tourism Whistler, the Resort Municipality of Whistler, and BC Craft Beer Month have partnered to bring us a month of amazing craft beer experiences. These ticketed events range from Zip & Sips, Battle of the Beer Cocktail Dinners, Brewmaster Dinners, Sip N’ Stretch, and more! Everyone’s favorite food and drink festival – Cornucopia – is returning at the end of the month, with a fabulous selection of paired dinners and seminars.

Had your fill of craft beer and B.C. wine? The Scandinave Spa is the perfect addition to your fall Whistler experience. Scandinave is Whistler’s hydrotherapy spa that is the epitome of zen, be it in the sun, rain, or snow. Grab a robe and enjoy plunge pools, hot baths, saunas, and relaxation rooms! Morning or afternoon, you can grab a drink at their cafe which serves Whistler’s finest local coffee and treats.

The Whistler Real Estate market continues to be very active, and housing inventory has decreased compared to last month. Be sure to have a look at our new listings in Whistler right here. Check out my September Stats here.
