A unique ski village with a distinctively West Coast style, relaxed mood and spectacular skiing, Whistler has been ranked the number one ski resort 12 years running and played host to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Designed by skiers, for skiers the pleasant walkways and plazas are lined with shops, bars and restaurants meaning everything you need from a ski holiday is right on your doorstep.
Check out the PEAK 2 PEAK gondola joining Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. Together these two giants provide 8,171 acres of ski terrain, a lift-serviced vertical drop of close to 1,615 metres, runs up to 11 kms long, twelve bowls, three glaciers and more than 200 marked trails – steep powder chutes, challenging mogul fields, secluded tree skiing and endless perfectly groomed easy cruising runs. Accommodation is split between five separate areas. Most villages are adjacent to high-speed lifts to ensure fast and direct mountain access or have a regular shuttle bus service to the lift base. Whistler has over 200 shops and a huge number of restaurants, bars and nightspots.
