Aspen #458 Prime Ski-in Ski-out Location! Pool, Hot tubs, BBQ, sleeps 8

I'm rating this 5 stars with some caveats which I'll post at the end, since I don't want to detract from the positives. I think this is the best location in Whistler / Blackcomb - truly ski in / out even for our stay in late march. On-site ski valet open 7 - 7, 5 minute walk downhill to upper village (where there is a small market for breakfast foods, snacks, etc.) and 3 well maintained hot tubs and a pool. 10 minute or so walk to whistler village or you can take the shuttle. Relatively soundproof units and the shuttle systems picks up near the top of the driveway. Most questions i had, the front desk staff were super informative - everything from best way to walk to the village (it's actually down the side of the ski slope) to where the good skiing was. The laundry room was listed as coin operated but it actually had credit card options (broken during our stay) and phone app options as well - the app worked great and would actually alert you when your load was done. The caveats - the cleaning / turnover crew sort of did a "good enough" job (quite a bit of stuff behind / to the side of and under furniture from previous guests). I got over it quickly but some might not. If you show up after the ski valet closes, you have to throw your gear in sort of a crappy room (no gear in condos) by the lobby - the valet is a separate company from the condos. The general area lock codes (pool) etc. are not intuitive - ask the front desk. Finally, the unit didn't have a toaster.

The view from this room is perfect!! You can see the pools and hot tubs, you can even see out to the ski trails and gondola!!

Bed. When you move the bed was making noise

Right on the slopes - great for ski trip!! Ski valet is great too! But that's about it for good things. The apartment is pretty tiny - barely enough for our group size. Pillows were definitely uncomfortable - both me and my wife suffered from sprain till a few days after the trip! The pull out queen bed in the living room is unusable - not firm at all and our son gave up on it partly through the first night. Also, about the checkin/checkout process - 4 pm check in and 10 am checkout seems too late and too early on the wrong sides! (6 hrs to prep the place for next guest??) + there's a weird clause saying "before leaving, ensure dishwasher has finished washing and has shutdown"!! In our 10+ yrs of using rental houses, have never seen this one!
