Whistler, British Columbia is a jewel any time of year. Located just 100 km north of Vancouver, and co-host to the 2010 Winter Olympic games in Vancouver, it has quickly become an international resort and must-see destination, accommodating guests from all over the world.
Towering over the pedestrian Whistler Village are Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, rated the number one ski mountains by various magazines over and over again. In the winter these mountains host many international ski and snowboard events. With the low elevation and the Pacific Ocean storms, these mountains accumulate a lot of snow and skiers do not suffer from altitude sickness. Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains have the first and second highest lift serviced ski able vertical in North America.
In the summer these same mountains run their lifts for sightseeing to the high alpine where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding area.
Whistler has name designed golf courses located in the valley. Every summer day is a festival with street entertainment. Stroll through the cobbled pathways of Whistler Village and discover First Nations art, locally made jewelry, the latest in high fashion apparel and of course, that souvenir sweatshirt!
