Fantastic week despite injury

My family and I had a fantastic week of skiing in February 2009.
Getting to and from the airport was simple. We used a bus from the airport, which dropped us very close to the apartment, probably less than a minute or two away. Not sure how we managed it but we were dropped off outside the apartment. From the first moment everybody was helpful and cheerful.
The apartment was in a great position, with an easy walk, just a few minutes, to the village, with its supermarket and variety of other shops and also to the bus transport for the lifts. Despite being UK half term there were always seats available on the bus, and we did not encounter any queues of any significance in the resort. The resort & Village were really easy to get around.
The accommodation was spacious, clean, comfortable, well maintained and had everything we could have wanted. It was close enough to the village to get involved in the nightlife but far enough away so that we were not disturbed in the evening. There was use of a hot tub close by which we did not get around to using. The tennis club was a short walk away (recommended by Ann & Mike the owners), which did a great breakfast.
Ann & Mike were very helpful more than we could have reasonably expected. They had left a clear information pack a welcome pack as well as some basic supplies. They were also extremely helpful when I had a slight accident on the slopes. It is also worth saying that the attention by the paramedics on the slope and staff at the local hospital was first class.
I have already recommended the resort and the apartment to friends, and I look forward to returning to Whistler at some time in the future.
Apart from staying upright on my skis, I cannot think of anything I would have changed. A great holiday!
Owner's Response: We hope this wonderful review will be of assistance for others considering our townhouse for their ski/snowboard vacation in Whistler and we thank D.O'C for his comments. Mike and I are extremely proud of our Valhalla property, and with it's 'new look' since completing extensive renovations at the beginning of 2009. Anne & Mike.
