Westwind Club

The Resort and Its Setting

Westwind Club is a privately run, independent timeshare property in Whistler's V8E postal area, in the heart of the Coast Mountains. It isn't part of a large hotel chain, which typically means a smaller, more personal operation rather than a corporate resort experience — but it does carry RCI affiliation, giving owners access to RCI's exchange network alongside use of their own week.

Whistler: What's On Your Doorstep

Whistler needs little introduction to anyone who's skied in North America — it's home to Whistler Blackcomb, Canada's largest ski area, with two mountains and well over 200 runs. In winter that means lift-served terrain for every ability level right on the resort's doorstep. Come summer, the same slopes turn into a hub for hiking and mountain biking, with Lost Lake Park offering trails, fishing, and lake access just a few minutes away. Whistler Village itself is walkable and lively year-round, packed with restaurants, bars and shops, and it's an easy stroll from Westwind Club. Further afield, the Sea-to-Sky Gondola offers sweeping views over the corridor toward the coast, and Vancouver — with its international airport — is roughly two hours' drive south, making travel in and out of Whistler straightforward.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Westwind Club and are considering selling it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of interested buyers.

Because Westwind Club is independent rather than branded, resale typically runs through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a large corporate resale desk. Before agreeing a price with any buyer, it's worth asking the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these details aren't standardised across independent resorts and will affect what a buyer actually takes on. A resale buyer generally acquires the week or points along with RCI exchange eligibility, but should confirm with the resort whether anything else — such as banked points or outstanding dues — carries over before the deal closes.

Renters, meanwhile, are usually drawn to Westwind Club for the Whistler location itself: proximity to the lifts in winter, and to trails and the village in summer. If you're renting out your week rather than selling, be clear in your listing about the season, any ski-in/ski-out distance, and whether the unit is let as a fixed week or through points.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Westwind Club's RCI affiliation means owners can either use their week at the resort or deposit it with RCI to exchange for stays elsewhere, subject to RCI's own availability and booking rules. Anyone relying on exchange access as part of a purchase decision should check current RCI terms directly, as exchange programmes periodically update their conditions.

Whistler itself is well connected: Vancouver International Airport is the usual gateway, with a scenic drive up the Sea-to-Sky Highway to reach the resort. Owners planning to use their week during peak winter weeks or major holiday periods should expect to book or request exchanges well ahead of time, given how much demand the ski season generates across the whole of Whistler.
