Whistler is an award-winning, year-round mountain resort located within two hours of downtown Vancouver. Whistler is also host to many of the major athletic events and ceremonies for the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Whistler is consistently rated as the #1 resort in North America by such prestigious publications as Condé Nast Traveler, Ski, Transworld Snowboarding and Skiing Magazine, among others. More than 8,100 acres of skiable terrain on Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains can be reached directly via lifts originating in the heart of Whistler Village, just steps from major hotels.

Since December 2008, an exciting new addition began to link Whistler and Blackcomb mountains via the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, taking your experience to a whole new level. Further details at: www.whistlerblackcomb.com .

Whistler Village is world-class in every sense, with fabulous accommodations, excellent restaurants and pubs, a thriving nightlife and shopping galore. There is no better time than now to make plans to visit this spectacular destination.

Whistler will also be home to the first ever PRIDE House, taking place during the Olympic and Paralympic games in February and March 2010. Gaywhistler.com and the Pan Pacific Whistler Village Centre collaborate to offer a welcoming space for gay & lesbian athletes, coaches, family, friends and allies. Find out more via the links below.

Creekside Whistler 

A multi-million dollar refurbishment to the original access point for Whistler Mountain has transformed The "Creek" into a thriving, convenient alternative to Whistler's main Village. It has all the amenities you'll need, including upscale hotels, restaurants, its own gondola, and is just a short cab or transit ride from the shopping and nightlife of nearby Whistler Village.
