Whistler BC is without doubt one of the top ten finest year-round resorts there are. Whistler has continually received awards and accolades in a variety of classes including the "Number One Ski Resort in North America," "One of the best golf resorts in the world" and "Best overall resort design." It is most well known as a world class ski centre, but it is equally attractive as a summer destination with a wide range of activities. If you want you can actually still ski in summer as some runs, on the glaciers high in the mountains are still open.
Whistler BC is situated 120km north of Vancouver BC in the Coast Mountains of Western British Columbia. The resort town of Whistler (known as the village) is located between the two peaks of Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain. These two mountains produce a year-round selection of leisure opportunities that would be hard to surpass anywhere. Summer activities include great hiking, swimming, sunbathing on lakeside beaches, cycling or just taking a gondola or chair lift up the mountains to admire the magnificent view.
If Vancouver is the playground for Adults, Whistler is the playground for those who enjoy sports and the feeling of the after party. The mountains at Whistler BC comprise Whistler and Blackcomb combining to make 200 + runs and skiing that is second to none. The incredible layout of the resort include mountain-top chalets, the most luxurious hotels and :smp. From everywhere in the village you are presented with and breathtaking scenery in summer and winter. All of this can be found just a two hour drive along the Sea to Sky Highway, which in itself is an experience as it rises from sea level to just under 4000 feet.
What makes Whistler you ask? Perhaps it the idyllic setting nestled in the coast mountains, surrounded by alpine lakes and dense forest. Perhaps it is the skiing resort that has constantly been ranked in the top 5 on everyone's best skiing list. For you it might be the hundreds of acres of trails that make up the Whistler Mountain Bike Park. Even still, maybe you came for the Arnold Palmer designed Whistler Golf Club or Nicklaus North Golf Course or maybe it was Fuzzy Creek.
