Highlights

wesome terrain and outstanding snow may make Whistler famous in winter, but there’s plenty to see and do off the slopes, too.

Check out these amazing sites in-between runs and get your fill of mountain culture!

Whistler Village

With plenty of (heated) patios spilling into cobblestone streets, Whistler Village exudes fun.

You’ll feel right at home in this pedestrian – and skier – friendly hub, which boasts tons of shops, restaurants and public-event spaces. whistler.com (Map 1) Image: Tourism Whistler / Robin O’Neill

Did you know?

Whistler Winter/Spring 2013/14 | visitorschoice.com

The area informally acquired the name “Whistler” due to the whistling calls of the local hoary marmot population.

Creekside Village Just five minutes south of Whistler Village on the Seato-Sky Highway, Creekside is a vibrant community with exceptional shopping. Dubbed the “original Whistler,” this district boasts loads of parking – and the immediate area’s sole gas station. (Map 8) Image: Tourism Whistler / Mike Crane

FYI The Squamish and Lil’wat First Nations are early inhabitants of the Whistler area.

Franz Wilhelmsen, president of Garibaldi Lifts, endeavours to build and operate the first ski lifts on Whistler Mountain with no electricity, roads or sewers in the area.

Whistler officially opens for skiing on February 15. Visitors access the mountaintop via a fourperson gondola, a double chairlift and two T-bars.

Vancouver/Garibaldi is nominated for the 1976 Winter Games but, with Montreal set to host the Summer Olympics that same year, the IOC opts for a different country.

PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola Rising 436 metres (1,427 feet) above the valley floor, this 11-minute trip spanning the summits of Blackcomb and Whistler mountains has broken world records for a reason. Whether you’re going to ski, dine or just marvel at the view, this gondola ride will leave you breathless.

Whistler Olympic Venue Tours Relive the excitement of the Winter Games with a public tour of the Whistler Sliding Centre (home of the bobsleigh, luge and skeleton competitions), Olympic Park (where the cross-country, ski-jumping and biathlon events took place) and Olympic Plaza (a gathering place and performance pavilion in Whistler Village, complete with an outdoor skating rink). Stop by the Whistler Visitor Centre for info. 4230 Gateway Drive 604.935.3357 | whistler.com (Map 1) Image: Tourism Whistler / Robin O’Neill

Perched on a gentle rock rise in Whistler, the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre provides opportunities to learn about the rich cultures and histories of the Lil’wat and Squamish First Nations.

Wander through the great hall to recapture the spirit of traditional canoe building, basket weaving, storytelling and narrative art. The centre features guided tours, immersive workshops, lively performances and a gift shop.

The Resort Municipality of Whistler (the first of its kind in Canada) is created to promote tourism in the area.

Blackcomb Mountain opens, boasting the two longest vertical ski drops and one of the largest ski resorts in North America.

After successfully combining Whistler and Blackcomb, the mountains become the first North American ski resort to host over two million skiers in a single season.

Whistler Blackcomb plays co-host to the world’s best athletes during the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games.

Bear Aware

W

hether you’re hiking a local trail or snowshoeing through the backcountry, these simple guidelines can help ensure any encounters with bears are positive and conflict free:

n B e prepared. Learn as much as you can about bear behaviour before venturing into bear country and remember you might encounter them in unexpected places. n Scan your surroundings. Scan the area for signs of recent bear activity; if you see tracks, scat, tree markings or a natural food source, be extremely cautious and consider an alternate route or postpone your trip.

n N ever feed a bear — either intentionally or unintentionally. Properly dispose of garbage, wherever possible, in a bear-proof container and, if camping, ensure unattended campsites remain free of bear attractants, such as food. n Respect all wildlife. Give bears and other animals plenty of space and do not approach them. No one should be encouraged to feed, pet or pose for a photo with a bear. If you want to take pictures, use a telephoto lens from a safe distance. n Never stop on the side of the road to photograph a bear, even if others are doing so. Many bears lose their lives each year as a result of preventable run-ins with people and their vehicles.

Mountain Safety

W

histler Blackcomb’s Mountain Safety Team has been steadily growing over the years. You can’t miss the full-time and volunteer members in their brightyellow jackets patrolling the hills to ensure all guests and employees are aware of the Alpine Responsibility Code and adhere to its guidelines.

Whistler Winter/Spring 2013/14 | visitorschoice.com

You can help the Mountain Safety Team by understanding the rules and responsibilities attached to being on the hill, like riding in control, travelling at safe speeds in “slow zones” and using common sense and exercising courtesy. In addition, these tips will help you have a fun, safe mountain experience:

38

n S ki/ride with a buddy and identify meeting points in case you become separated. Make sure your fellow riders know how to find the meeting location. n C arry a whistle and be cautious. n Be extra careful when skiing/riding in treed areas. Tree wells can be very dangerous because of loose-packed snow. n Stay in bounds. No matter how tempting fresh snow may be, it’s crucial to stay away from closed trails because of the potential dangers they pose. Failure to follow signs and regulations could result in loss of lift privileges – or worse. n Be aware of the weather. Mountain conditions can change quickly and it’s important to react accordingly.

When there’s falling snow and/or foggy conditions, reduce your speed or stop altogether.

n R ide in control and yield to others. If you can’t stop or turn quickly to avoid objects and people in your path, you’re probably going too fast and should reduce your speed. n Dress warmly. Frostbite is a serious condition and can develop quickly. Bring extra layers and limit your skin exposure when the temperature drops. If your skin begins to turn white, go inside immediately. n Avoid sunburn and stay hydrated. Alpine conditions and physical activity can increase your risk of dehydration. Drink lots of water and wear sunscreen, goggles and a hat to avoid burning your skin. n Think visibility – always! When stopping make sure you’re out of the way of other riders, but still visible to them. Avoid stopping on rollovers and around blind corners.

Be sure to keep an eye out for the Mountain Safety Team and the yellow Alpine Responsibility Code signs. They’re there to ensure the safety of everyone on the hill – including you.

Say Spa

T

here’s no better way to top off a day

on the slopes than treating yourself to some “me” time at one of Whistler’s spas, studios and retreats.

Hydro Health Head to Scandinave Spa for some soothing hydrotherapy. This European technique includes a network of outdoor steam baths, hot pools and Nordic dips designed to calm body and mind.

It makes for a great outdoor activity, too, with sweeping mountain views and a bounty of fresh winter air. scandinave.com Image: Dragon Images

Head-to-Toe Treatment
