About Whistler
Whistler, host of the alpine events for the 2010 Winter Olympics, is one of North America's premier mountain resort destinations, built around the twin peaks of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, connected by the record-breaking Peak 2 Peak Gondola. The resort's extensive ski terrain, consistently ranked among the best in North America, draws skiers and snowboarders from around the world each winter, while its vibrant pedestrian village offers shops, restaurants and nightlife at the base of the mountains.
Beyond winter sports, Whistler transforms into a major outdoor destination each summer, offering extensive mountain biking trails, hiking, and the chance to ride the Peak 2 Peak Gondola for sweeping alpine views without needing to ski. The scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway connecting Whistler to Vancouver is itself a notable attraction, winding along the coastline and through mountain scenery, with stops at waterfalls and viewpoints along the way.
