WELCOME TO WHISTLER BC VANCOU V ER 2010 OLY M PIC & PA R A LY M P I C G A M E S V E N U E Whistler is famous for its two spectacular winter playgrounds, Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. By the numbers, “the hills”—as they are affectionately known by locals—are incredibly appealing to any ski or snowboard enthusiast, as they boast a combined 8171 acres of terrain, 200+ marked runs, and 1170 centimetres (461 inches) of average annual snowfall. But it’s the top marks the resort earns in the categories of terrain variety, off-hill activity, terrain parks, après and overall experience that have earned Whistler the #1 Resort award by Ski Magazine. If variety is the spice of life, then Whistler’s impressive range of activities will ensure everyone has a taste of an adventure they enjoy. For those who revel in recreating under their own steam, there’s ice skating and hockey, cross-country skiing (including a trail for dogs), tobogganing, snowshoeing, horsedrawn sleigh rides and eagle viewing. Gravity fed snow-sports that will get your heart pumping encompass skiing, snowboarding, tubing, ziplining, snowmobiling, bungee jumping, heli-skiing, cat-skiing, bobsleigh riding and skeleton sliding. Feel the excitement as you hone your axe throwing skills, challenge your puzzle-solving ability in live escape rooms, or experience a unique dog sledding tour led by our furry four-legged friends. Whistler also has a wealth of cultural activities to explore, such as tasting and fondue tours, pub crawls and museums. Learn about the art, history and culture of the indigenous peoples of our region at the Squamish Lílwat Cultural Centre. To experience the breathtaking views of Whistler and Blackcomb, their snow-capped peaks and forested terrain, hop on a helicopter for a tour or take a ride on the Guinness World record-holding PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, built for sightseers, skiers and snowboarders alike.
