Whistler
Whistler resort, housing Whistler
and Blackcomb Mountains is a
skier's paradise, though it's more
than a ski resort and you'll be
amazed at the size and variety
of its attractions.
It's a unique ski village with
a fantastic range of hotels from budget to luxury 5 star resorts, it has a beautiful pedestrian centre,
and you'll be as drawn to the shops, café's, bars and restaurants as you will the mountains!
Regarded as the Number 1 resort in North America, it's easy to see why people are drawn to it. Whistler is the host mountain resort for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the excitement is building already!
Opening this season is the Peak to Peak Gondola (opening December 2008) – take this spectacular 11 minute gondola ride from the Peak of Blackcomb to Whistler mountain.
There is so much skiing you could ski for 2 weeks and not repeat the same runs.
Here are the stats:
- One vertical mile drop
- Over 7,000 skiable acres
- Two mountains
- More than 200 trails
- Three glaciers
- 33 lifts
- Twelve alpine bowls.
The numbers speak for themselves!
