Valentine’s Day 2011 Giveaway: Whistler Experience
byWhile there’s plenty to do around Vancouver for Valentine’s Day (from dining options to strolls on the seawall) sometimes a break from the city can spark that extra bit of romance. Thanks to our friends at the following locations in Whistler, I have another Valentine’s-inspired prize package to offer up this week.
Scandinave Spa
Website, Twitter, Facebook
Last year I listed Scandinave as one of my Top 5 in Whistler. The contest winner will receive access for two to Scandinave’s bath experience with Finnish sauna, eucalyptus steam room, hot tubs, cool waterfall, and warm pools in a pristine mountain setting. Wander outside between solariums in your robe and come inside for finely crafted soups and sandwiches in their mountain-view bistro.Â
Alta Bistro
Website, Twitter, Facebook
Although I haven’t dined at Alta (it is one of Whistler’s newest restaurants) it continues Whistler’s trend of eating fresh, locally-sourced ingredients while providing finely crafted cocktails for your dining experience. The contest winner will receive $75 for a romantic dinner for two at Alta featuring the season’s best offerings.
Whistler is just 90 minutes from Vancouver up the scenic Sea to Sky highway. Here’s how you can enter to win this ‘Whistler Valentine’s Experience’ prize package:
This prize must be redeemed between March 1, 2011 and June 30, 2011. I will draw one winner Wednesday, February 9, 2011 at midnight.
Update The winner is Tomasz (@mananetwork) congratulations!Â
There’s still one more day to enter my local Valentine’s Day contest for spa, chocolates, and perfume.

Gotta love Whistler!
That looks romantic.
I remember years ago my best friend asked me whi I was interested in. I remember thinking for a while then finally responding “nobody…weird hey?” I mean we always have a crush on someone! Then I continued and aid ” well of course Gabe, but really like that will ever happen.”
Years later I had just broken off a long relationship and was on my way to a friends wedding, I said to the same friend, I hope Gabe isn’t at this wedding…..I’d probably make out with him!”
Gabe was there. I managed to stay far away, trying to stay out of trouble!
He found me on the dance floor pulled me away, and said simply, “lets give this a shot
He is the love of my life.
Good luck everyone!
I`ve been dying to try out Scandinave Spa ever since it opened. One day I will get there… one day!
