Whistler-Blackcomb Mountain Information
 Whistler is without doubt one of the finest year-round resorts there is. 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 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."



Whistler is situated 120km north of Vancouver 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 on lakeside beaches, cycling or just taking a gondola or chair lift up the mountains to admire the magnificent view.
