World famous Whistler is located in the heart of the Coast Mountain Range two hours north of the the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. A sea of jagged peaks and flowing glaciers and icefields dominates the surrounding horizon making this one of the most rugged and spectacular places on earth.

The buzzing resort community of Whistler is really just a tiny island of civilization in a vast region of wilderness. In fact it wasn't until quite recently that there has been much development in the region. Skiing in the valley started in 1966 with the opening of Whistler Mountain. Blackcomb Mountain started operations in 1980. Since the late 80's there has been a frenzy of development and expansion with Whistler now rated as one of the top destination resorts in the world.

Located between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains Whistler Village makes a perfect base for those wishing to explore the area. With a variety of hotels for almost every budget, great restaurants and very healthy nightlife there is plenty to keep everyone occupied.

In addition to the amazing downhill skiing there is also lots of snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
