Nestled amid the spectacular Coast Mountains of Western Canada, Whistler awaits. Imagine a charming alpine village, spectacular scenery at every turn, ski-in/ski-out convenience, and of course, unequivocal skiing on two magnificent side-by-side mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains.
The skiing is unbelievable - Whistler and Blackcomb mountains have over 7,000 acres of ski and snowboard terrain, with 12 alpine bowls, 3 glaciers, over 200 marked trails and 33 lifts.
And in July this year, Vancouver-Whistler was selected as the host city for the 2010 Winter Olympics; for more on this, click here
