Four Seasons of Surprises Whistler is so much more than one of the best places on Earth to ski.
Tucked in the southwestern corner of British Columbia less than two hours from Vancouver the
resort municipality is really as much a state of mind as a destination. Its modern culture
firmly rooted in the great outdoors offers a unique healthy and active lifestyle that people
around the world can only dream about. Yet many of the over two-million people that visit
Whistler annually from every corner of the world are in such a hurry to get up into the
mountains they miss so many of the secret sites hidden gems and offbeat attractions scattered
throughout the Sea to Sky corridor - home of Canada's most scenic road. When you know where to
look you'll be amazed by Whistler's rich diversity and quirky surprises from the funky dives
where local Liftees dine to high-end glamourous shops in the village aboriginal landmarks
ghost towns and left-over traces of the Winter Olympics. And although mining and logging have
been replaced by tourism vestiges of the early pioneer days still pop up in the most unusual
places. Even with its recent growth Whistler remans at heart a tranquil small-town retreat
where discovery adventure and fresh air still fuel the spirit of those with adventurous
hearts.
