Whistler Real Estate: Ski-in/Ski-out

The ski-in ski-out trail which leads to Heritage Peaks Trail in Kadenwood is featured in the video below. At first viewing the ski-in ski-out trail may look very similar to the route shown in the Trails End Lane video. However, there is a section which is very different and as such it was important to give Heritage Peaks Trail buyers their own video. There are six videos in the Kadenwood ski-in ski-out series. In addition, there are other videos about the neighbourhood, the strata, and the road up to Kadenwood. Please check out the Kadenwood page on this site for wonderful information and videos.

Location of Heritage Peaks Trail

Heritage Peaks Trail is a quiet location within the Kadenwood development. Anyone driving into the area of Heritage Peak Trail is because they live in this location. You would not pass through Heritage Peaks Trail to reach another area within Kadenwood. Buying in this location is because of the views, or for the great access to the ski-in ski-out trail.

In my opinion, the proximity to the ski-in ski-out trail would be a very good reason to buy in this location. However, that is based on everyone being as keen on skiing as I am. The other option for family and friends who are beginners, or a bit timid on the slopes, would involve the car. That means that you would be driving to the Kadenwood Gondola Station for download. In that area there is a gentler slope for beginners, leading to the Lower Peak to Creek run. From there is it off down to Creekside Gondola for Upload. It all depends how ski-in ski-out you want the location to be.

Market Update

There are two pages on this site, I would attract your attention to. The first is Active Listings. This page is for those who are truly dedicated to finding a ski-in ski-out property in Whistler. The next page is Market Update page where you can see the monthly market update video report and corresponding statistics. Those statistics are courtesy of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, of which all Whistler realtors are members.

It’s a Good Life in Whistler!

Video shows you access to Trails End Lane from the ski-in ski-out trail leading into the top of Kadenwood past the houses on Trail’s End Lane then off to Creekside. Kadenwood is positioned as all houses being ski-in ski-out, however, some are more ski-in ski-out than others. This video will help you understand the ski-in ski-out accessibility for the houses on Trail’s End Lane. If you are considering Kadenwood, Whistler, then you should watch all the videos on the Kadenwood page of this site.

Ski Home To Trail

From the video of me skiing this trail, you should notice the width and gradient off the trail. The trails leading in from Lower Peak to Creek on Whistler Mountain are suitable for any level of skier or boarder. With practice, the skier will get up enough speed to get to the top of Kadenwood. From there, the trail is a converted road, so it is a smooth run down to the Piston Bully shed and on to Trails end Lane. However, the part of the trail which could be a concern for any beginner is the path to Creekside. Have a look at the video and you will see what I mean. If you are an intermediate skier or boarder, any part of this trail will be most enjoyable.

Google Map Of Trail’s End Lane

Google last flew over Kadenwood around 1999 when Trail’s End Lane was just a twinkle in the developer’s eye. Looking at the Google map, it is difficult to determine which ski-in ski-out trails will lead your home on Trails End Lane. Telling clients about the ski trails proved to be difficult for me, as I could tell they were not imagining what I was seeing in my mind. That’s why I decided to shoot these Kadenwood videos, to help my clients understand what a wonderful location Kadenwood is. However, certain areas have a better ski-in ski-out access than others, and that is where I can help you. If you are not working with a Whistler realtor, please contact me.

The location to the Kadenwood Gondola becomes a priority when deciding on 2952 High Point Drive over a brand new house on, for example, Heritage Peaks Trail. I encourage my clients to consider the mobility and ability of each family member both on and off the slopes when contemplating the purchase of any real estate in Whistler. This is especially true for ski-in ski-out property. One house in from the intersection of High Point Drive and Kadenwood Drive, it is a very short walk to the Kadenwood Gondola station. This bodes very well with your guests, as they can easily make their own way to the gondola without you having to drive them anywhere. It is a very convenient, year-round location.

When you are browsing the listings of Whistler real estate, looking for land for sale, Kadenwood should jump out at you. Whether or not you want ski-in ski-out access to Whistler Mountain, you are probably looking for privacy. In addition, peace and quiet maybe on the list. Kadenwood is less than 15 minutes from Whistler Village, which is the hub of everything Whistler. From the hustle of the village to the serenity of the mountains all within a short drive.

If you are looking for a house with an amazing view then consider 2919 Heritage Peaks Trail in Kadenwood. This brand new house has been built at a high point of the Heritage Peaks area and as such it is above the neighbours. I have shown several houses in this location within Kadenwood to buyers, and this one stands out because of the panoramic view. The view is expansive from the decks and you can see the Tantalus Range to the south and Sproatt and Rainbow Mountains over to the west. Not every home in Kadenwood has this panoramic view.

Before I tell you the features and benefits of 2928 Big Timber Court, Kadenwood, let me give you some background. Over the summer I hiked the trails of Kadenwood again to see if anything had changed that I should be aware of. That effort always makes me appreciate the Kadenwood houses and their unique ski-in ski-out locations. Have a look at the video entitled Kadenwood Ski Trails. In the video I speak about the ski access trails which run in, through and out of Kadenwood. Some houses have a better ski-in ski-out access than others. Which leads me to this post on a lot for sale in Kadenwood. Finding land for sale in Whistler which is ski-in ski-out is rare as it has all been sold. Most of the lots you see for sale are being resold, that means they are not being sold by a developer.

I have written a lot of posts about Kadenwood. However, this effort to show you the Kadenwood Ski Trails which run in, through and out of the development have been a challenge. I have now solved that challenge by creating a Google map of Kadenwood ski trails. It is important to notice the directional arrows on the map. Have a view of this short video that explains why understanding the ski-in ski-out trails of Kadenwood is important. However, it is only the first step in understanding Kadenwood. That is when it is time to call Marion Anderson, (604) 938-3885 to help you find your Kadenwood home.

I have walked these trails and taken photos so I am confident in the direction of the blue runs. It really is important to understand your options, before you get too focused in your search. For a better view click on the link above or on the icon with the four corners, it is in the top right of the gray bar.

Everyone has a different tolerance to the meaning of ski-in/ski-out. There is no doubt that I can tell you the best locations to suit your tolerance to walking instead of schussing. The marketing efforts of each listing agent, promotes the ski-in/ski-out access for every listing in Kadenwood. In essence, some lot locations are more ski-in/ski-out than others. However, you would be best to call me at (604) 938-3885, as soon as you start your search. I can tell you the benefits of each location on the map of Kadenwood trails.

Kadenwood Information

The Kadenwood page on this site, has received lots of views. Information is added to this page so that you can continue to learn about the area instead of relying on your realtor.

Vacant Land For Sale in Kadenwood

At the time of writing this post, there are two lots listed for sale in Kadenwood. One is in Big Timber Court. After doing all the research on ski-in/ski-out access trails, I am amazed that this property is still available. If you are interested in building in Kadenwood, please call me to discuss your options.

Tourist Accommodation Zoning

All of Kadenwood is zoned as tourist accommodation. This means that you legally have the option for nightly rentals. Right now, there is no vacancy tax in Whistler, so if you buy the house and it sits empty all year, there is no penalty. If the time ever comes where the federal or provincial government puts that tax into effect in Whistler, you are covered. Renting out nightly might be a good option to avoid paying extra taxes.

I am here to help you before, during and after the transaction. The rules effective June 15, 2018 have banned dual agency, so it is prudent to contact a Buyer’s Agent like me, for more information. Please contact me if you are not working with a realtor.
