Here at Pique , we aren’t taking sides on the issue. But at least this craze is making things a little more fluorescent, for the time being.

Other fashion statements that raised some eyebrows were the ever-controversial Uggs boots as well as baggy pants (just to be extra picky about size).

And, a non-clothing item that got significant votes was kicking tenants out for the Olympics — a fad that has been getting more popular as the February 2010 date approaches, much to the dismay of Whistler’s renters.

Whistler gift or present

You can get your friends an Olympic mascot, a massage gift certificate, or some Rocky Mountain chocolate. But for the best Whistler present this Christmas season, it seems most readers still agree on the classic ski pass. After all we live in one of the best ski resorts in the world. And next year, it will become an Olympic resort as well.

Of course, a ski pass is useless without powder, which is probably why snow was also a popular gift choice.

Other favourites to keep in mind for next Christmas: a Bodystorm course, a Crossfit membership, ski and board gear, inukshuks, and wine.

Or, if you don’t want to spend any money, some people suggested a couch to crash on was also a great present.

Place for people watching

Since this question was first added to Best of Whistler in 1999, the response has always — and we mean always — been Citta’s Bistro. This year marks the ninth year Citta’ has claimed the title, and the 25 th anniversary of the beloved bar in the heart of Whistler Village Square.

Sadly, it may also mark the year that Citta’ shuts its doors permanently. The restaurant’s lease expires at the end of February 2009, and the landlord has givn no indication it’ll be renewed

In order to keep the place alive, the restaurant has been asking the community to send in their Citta’ photos and stories to savecitta@cittabistro.com.
