New Quarter Shares at Whistler

Fans of the Olympics will be able to cheer alpine and other events in 2010 from their own homes if they own one at Whistler-Blackcomb in BC -- or perhaps rent out their units for big bucks. At the huge Canadian resort last week, I saw first hand the lovely village and fantastic twin mountains where much of the action takes place. Whistler has many hotels and condos but owner Intrawest is putting a new set of quarter-share fractionals -- called Evolution -- on stream at prices beginning at $129,000 for a one bedroom.
