The Pros of Arrowhead Point Accommodation - Amenities, Privacy and Slopeside Convenience

The Cons of Arrowhead Point Accommodation - Location and Suitability for your Vacation Plans

Arrowhead Point’s ski-in/ski-out location is the easiest way to start your day on the slopes. Yet, the appeal of being next to the slopes and high up among the trees on Blackcomb Mountain is not for everyone.

For instance, there’s little benefit to ski-in/ski-out access during the summer, so off-season vacationers may want to seek accommodation closer to Whistler Village.

Seniors and persons with mobility issues may have difficulty accessing Arrowhead Point. Townhouses at Arrowhead Point are mainly accessed through stairs, so it’s best to check with property owner before booking to ensure the home is suitable for disabled guests.

Once you’re out the door, the hills up to Arrowhead Point are an obstacle that many vacationers may wish to avoid. Party-goers may also find the late-night/early-morning stumble up the slippery slope to Arrowhead Point too difficult to attempt. Although free shuttle service runs until 3:00 am, Whistler vacationers who want easy access to Whistler Village action will want to book accommodation closer to the Village.

To Book or Not to Book?

Everyone has a different goal when planning their Whistler ski vacation. Persons with disabilities, party-goers, seniors and non-skiers may find Arrowhead Point’s slopeside location inconvenient. However, couples, groups, families and ski-enthusiasts will revel in the large ski-in/ski-out townhouses featuring privacy, hot tubs, fully-equipped kitchens, ski storage, and free parking.

If you’re not worried about being a little out of the way and love the idea of being able to ski to the lifts, Arrowhead Point may be just the place for you.
