Towering snow capped mountain peaks, crystal-clear blue lakes, verdant green forests and sparkling rivers are the magnificent background to the cosmopolitan ski village that is Whistler.

Whistler’s secret is its steep, high mountain, coastal location amidst rain forest. The constant heavy snowfalls often slightly thaw, then refreeze, each new layer of snow gripping tightly.

Created only since the 1960’s, Whistler was named for both the whistling sounds through the trees of the Pacific winds passing over Fitzsimmons Pass between Blackcomb and Whistler Mountains, and the whistling sounds made by the chattering local hoary marmots, a small high-forest mammal.

All levels of ski and winter activities are available around Whistler-Blackcomb: from expert to novice. Many family events and places are about, and Whistler resonates with voices from around the world.

You may find yourself in a local Pub between tourists with accents German and Japanese, American or Australian.
