Whistler Ski Resort is nestled between the Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains which are part of the Coastal Mountain range of British Columbia, Canada. Whistler is located 120 km / 75 miles north of Vancouver, BC and 354 km / 218 miles north of Seattle, WA.

Whistler/Blackcomb mountains welcome you to the largest lift-serviced high-alpine terrain in North America. Here in British Columbia's Coast Mountains, everything is more intense -the bite of wind-driven powder; the scent of pine on a spring afternoon; an alpine sun that feels close enough to touch. Whistler's Magic thrives on contradictions. For every stormy day, there's a mind-blowing powder day. For every cloudy day there's a spectacular sunny day that makes you fall in love with these mountains all over again.

Whistler Resort has all amenities which include:

• over 100 Whistler hotels, condos, bed & breakfasts (over 5,202 rooms

Canada's first resort municipality has been ranked the #1 ski resort in North America. It has also become "the" vacation destination for Japanese and Americans thanks in part to two mountains with North America's longest vertical ski run and an impressive, rapidly growing pedestrian-only village with a funky to chic range of restaurants, shops and accommodation.

In addition to winter sports, the summer has lots to offer the outdoor enthusiast including: 

• 4 golf courses in the area and more planned
• great hiking
• tennis
• mountain biking
• heli-fishing
• horseback riding
• rafting, canoeing
• paragliding
• glacier skiing

• live music - a number of blue-grass, jazz, country and classical festivals are staged every year.

A copy of Paul Adams' book Whistler and Region Outdoors will give you a history of music in the area. A summer event not to be missed is the "Music on the Mountain" series featuring the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra playing al fresco, one mile up. Other summer delights: guided stargazing and moonrises from Blackcomb's peak every Saturday. Art-filled lobby and Mallard bar of Chateau Whistler, home to the best brunch in town ("premier address at Whistler" according to Robin Leach's Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous).
