as a ski resort, and in 1975 it became the first, "Resort
Municipality" in Canada. Today,
Whistler is an unparalleled year-round destination resort,
less than a two-hour drive from Vancouver, BC.

Summer
in Whistler is just as spectacular as winter. Mountaintop
sightseeing, world-class golf, mountain biking (Whistler
is considered "one of the top bike towns in North America"),
hiking, in-line skating, horseback riding, sightseeing,
canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and even glacier skiing
are but of the few of the opportunities the area provides
in the summer months.
Nestled
at the base of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains is Whistler's
award-winning pedestrian village. Designed in distinctive
mountain resort architecture, Whistler Village and the adjacent
Upper Village are perfectly situated for easy access to
both mountains and a huge variety of first class restaurants
and distinctive shops. The surrounding valley is sprinkled
with parks containing beaches, picnic areas, boat launches
and hiking trails. Along the valley there are five lakes,
numerous creeks and rivers with kilometers of established
trails for hiker, bikers and inline skaters.
Accommodations:
The resort offers a range of accommodations from lodges
and condominiums to luxury hotels. There are also camping
facilities in nearby parks. Whistler has the most ski-in/ski-out
accommodation of any mountain recreation resort in North
America (over 18,000 pillows within 500 metres of the lifts)
There are 115 hotels, condos, and bed & breakfasts, offering
more than 5,213 rooms

Columbia, Whistler/Blackcomb consistently offers the most
reliable snow conditions, with an average annual snowfall
