Premier Listings for Whistler

The resort destination of Whistler is nestled below the Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains in the Whistler Valley, north of Vancouver, British Columbia. In recognition of its world-class status as a ski resort, the cosmopolitan Village of Whistler co-hosted the 2010 Winter Olympic Games with Vancouver. Enchanting Whistler continues to be the fastest-growing municipality in BC, and has been recognized as the Top Ski Resort in North America for the past decade.

Something magical happens when you arrive at the summit of the small valley that contains Whistler. A cluster of small lakes is gathered here, reflecting the outlines of the mountains high above, including Alta Lake, the great divide in the Sea to Sky corridor. No other lakes have scenery quite like this to mirror.

When you let your eyes rise from the reflection to admire the real thing, the contours of the ski runs on Blackcomb and Whistler Mountains pattern the forested slopes. Above the tree line, you can still see remnants of the most recent ice age in the glaciers that encrust the highest peaks. Take a deep breath of the freshest air imaginable, and prepare for a magnificent playground called Whistler.

Whistler is the ultimate rags-to-riches West Coast success story. The Princess of the West Coast, Whistler has been transformed in just over 25 years from the tiny wilderness recreation community originally known as Alta Lake to the world famous super-resort village with a population of 10,000. Central to everything in the resort is Whistler Village, with its shopping areas and après-ski restaurants bordered by squeaky-clean streets. The skiing is… well… maybe the best anywhere! Whistler and Blackcomb mountains have over 200 runs and 33 ski lifts combined.

The Coast Salish First Nations people inhabited the land around Whistler for many thousands of years, hunting and gathering and living a nomadic lifestyle on the land. The Whistler Valley was an isolated wilderness frequented only by the Lil’wat Nation from the Mount Currie area and the Squamish Nation who lived in an area stretching from present day North Vancouver to the Squamish River watershed and the northern area of Howe Sound (Gibson’s Landing).

The European history of Whistler stretches back to the 1860s, when British Naval Officers surveyed the area and gave Whistler Mountain the name London Mountain. The name Whistler was used by these early settlers because of the shrill whistling sound made by the western hoary marmots that live among the rocks. The Pemberton Trail from the top of Howe Sound through the Coast Mountains linking the Pacific coast to the Pemberton valley north of Whistler was completed in 1877, encouraging trappers and prospectors to settle. They were followed by the arrival from Maine of Alex and Myrtle Philip in 1912. Construction began in 1914 on what was to become the famous Rainbow Lodge on Alta Lake, catering to fishermen and outdoors people. The highway eventually pushed through from Vancouver in 1965, with Whistler Mountain opening for skiing during the same year.

In February 1966, when the Garibaldi Lift Company opened its ski area on the west side of Whistler Mountain, Whistler Resort was only a vision of a dedicated few. The development of Whistler Resort just 14 years later, and its successive growth into an award-winning, international resort, is unparalleled in ski history. (History of Whistler and Whistler Mountain).

To complement Whistler Mountain, Blackcomb Mountain opened its brand new facility in December 1980, and Whistler Village was built at the base of these two side-by-side mountains. The Village was carefully designed to reap the benefits of the Coast Mountain’s excellent geographical location, emphasizing excellent sun exposure and breathtaking mountain vistas.

The more than two million annual visitors to Whistler will find that the excellent exchange rate, superb terrain, impressive snowfalls and the unique village atmosphere all combine to provide great value and an unforgettable vacation experience. Whistler has the most ski-in/ski-out accommodation of any mountain recreation resort in North America. To date there are 15,200 pillows within 500 metres of the lifts! Ski-in/Ski-out accommodation represents more than 75% of all existing rental pillows.

Whistler is a four-season destination, offering the greatest vertical drop on the continent, more than 7,000 acres of skiable terrain in winter, and endless outdoor activities in the summer. No wonder the 2010 Winter Olympic Games came to Whistler and Vancouver!

Population: 9,595

Location: Whistler is located on Highway 99, 75 miles (120 km) north of Vancouver. Access to Whistler is by car, limousine, van, scheduled bus, train, or chartered helicopter or floatplane. From Downtown Vancouver take Georgia Street through Stanley Park and over the Lions Gate bridge to the North Shore. Exit the bridge on the Marine Drive West turnoff and take the first right onto Taylor Way.

Once you’re in Whistler, you can ride a free in-resort shuttle bus within the village area. If you want to go sightseeing around the valley, you can use Whistler’s public transit system or take a guided tour.

Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games: Vancouver and Whistler were the host cities for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, the third Olympic Games hosted by Canada, and the first by the province of British Columbia. Previously, Canada hosted the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. Whistler and the Callaghan Valley hosted Alpine Skiing, Biathlon, Cross-country Skiing, Nordic Combined, Ski Jumping, Bobsleigh, Luge, and Skeleton.

Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort has the largest ski area on the continent: over 28,000 hectares (7,000 acres) of ski and snowboard terrain, with over 200 marked trails, 12 massive Alpine bowls, 3 glaciers, and 33 lifts. Whistler Mountain (elevation 7,160 feet/2,182 m) and Blackcomb Mountain (elevation 7,494 feet/2,284 metres) competed with each other for two decades before merging in 1997.

Competition between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains led to their status in the minds (and hearts) of many skiers and snowboarders as the premier North American winter resorts. Their union merely confirmed the impression that, for most visitors, Whistler is a seamless valley. You can just as easily explore one mountain as the other. Each offers a complimentary perspective on its companion and each has a loyal following of ski and snowboard devotees.

The best answer to the question ‘which is best?’ is that when you’re in heaven, it doesn’t matter which side of the street you walk on. Both have been around long enough (Whistler since 1965 and Blackcomb since 1980) to have developed trails over a combined total of 7,071 acres (2,864 hectares) that over the seasons have been shaped, groomed, and gladed to hold snow and reduce obstacles.

Whistler Village: After an invigorating day on the mountains, or enjoying adventure activities in Whistler Valley, visitors can explore the unique pedestrian-only Whistler Village. No matter what you choose to do, Whistler serves up an attractive mix of cosmopolitan amenities and pristine beauty. Relive the history of Whistler at the Whistler Museum and Archives, situated in the village on Main Street. The museum houses exhibits on ski history and artifacts dating back to the 1850s.

Entertainment and Events: The good times roll year-round in Whistler, with many festivals from June to September. Jugglers, comedians, magicians, clowns, mountain-bike stunt riders and a variety of other street entertainers bring their talents to the cobble-stoned streets of Whistler every day.

Don’t miss the annual Oktoberfest in October. Whistler hosts this celebration of Beer and Bratwurst, featuring oom-pah-pah bands, dancers and traditional Oktoberfest fare. Whistler’s popular Farmers Market is held every Sunday in the Upper Village from mid June to early October. Enjoy live entertainment and shop for local arts and crafts, and fresh, organic and local produce. Cornucopia, Whistler’s Food and Wine Festival in November, attracts world-class wineries, celebrity chefs, and food connoisseurs to Whistler.

The influence of the First Nations People on their traditional lands is celebrated annually every August during Weetama: Whistler’s Celebration of Aboriginal Culture. View an aboriginal artist carve a totem pole, enjoy an authentic West Coast aboriginal feast, or hear the mythological interpretations of aboriginal singing and dancing. Weetama is rich in culture and an excellent opportunity to learn more about aboriginal culture in the Whistler area; about the Coast Salish people and their fascinating history, music, art and dances.

Skiing & Winter Sports in Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. There are several styles of cross-country trails around Whistler, and the wilderness environment just beyond the lifts to the east, north, and west of Whistler/Blackcomb offers hundreds of ski runs, with a tremendous variety of slopes to accommodate all levels of skiers and boarders, from intermediate to expert. Additional winter activities include snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and old style sleigh rides. Venture into the backcountry with a professional musher and his team of Inuit sled dogs – a truly Canadian experience! When it’s cold enough, out come the snow shovels to clear a place for ice skating on Alta Lake in Whistler. Head for Rainbow Park on Alta Lake Road to find it (and don’t forget your shovel). Indoor ice skating is offered in Whistler’s Alpine Meadows neighbourhood. Skates are available for rent.

Heli-skiing provides access to the hundreds of runs accessible only by helicopter. The runs vary from expansive glaciers to beautiful subalpine open tree runs – depending on the weather conditions – and vary from 1,400 to 5,000 vertical feet (400m to 1,500m), with the average runs being approximately 45 minutes. The range includes 7,500-ft Spearhead (behind Blackcomb), 9,000-ft Ipsoot Mountain (north of Whistler), 7,200-ft Powder Mountain (south west of Whistler Village), and 9,300-ft Feethurley River Area (north of Pemberton). To those with an aversion to flight (unless it’s off a cornice) snow-cat skiing/snowboarding can get you into the untracked backcountry around Whistler just as effectively as heli-skiing/boarding.
Heli-Skiing in the Whistler Area.

Summer: In the summer months, Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains offer a bounty of outdoor recreation activities. The varied terrain of the Vancouver, Coast and Mountains region accommodates every outdoor recreation known to man, including alpine sightseeing, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, canoeing and kayaking, river rafting and jetboating, mountain climbing, paragliding and hanggliding, backcountry tours, fishing, world-class golfing, and wildlife viewing.

Bungy Jumping in Whistler

Fishing: Had enough skiing?

Leave your spouse at the mercy of Whistler’s spas, slopes and shops while you sneak off to the Chilcotin, local Coast Mountain Lakes, or a full-day of salmon fishing in Campbell River. Sound good?

Glacier Walks and Hikes: Rise to the top of the world on a glacier walk or hike on the Horstman Glacier on Blackcomb Mountain. Supersize your excitement with an awe-inspiring helicopter ride over the Coast Mountains to a landing site on the glacier – great photo opportunity! Other guided glacial adventures go to the Pemberton Ice Cap, Stanley Smith, Monarch, the Homathko Ice Fields, and Mount Waddington.

Wildlife: The coastal rainforest around Whistler is prime habitat for bears, cougars, and deer, and Whistler is situated on the natural migratory route for numerous bird species, from hummingbirds to bald eagles. Each year the Bald Eagle attracts thousands of people from around the world to observe them in their winter home on the Squamish, Mamquam and Cheakamus Rivers. The best time to spot the eagles is between November and March when they are feeding on the spawning salmon with the numbers peaking in December and January. In 1994 a world record of 3,768 eagles were counted. Every winter, thousands of bald eagles congregate in Brackendale, about 45 minutes south of Whistler. Nature tours, and bear watching tours are available.

Garibaldi Provincial Park offers camping at Garibaldi Lake restricted to two designated areas – Taylor Meadows and the west end of Garibaldi Lake. Tent pads and a covered cooking shelter are located at each. When water levels in Garibaldi Lake are high, be prepared to wade a short distance along the shoreline to reach the campsites on its west side. There are also wilderness campsites at three locations on Cheakamus Lake in the park. The easiest one to reach is at the west end of the lake, while those at Singing Creek and Castle Towers Creek are more remote. You’ll need a boat (and a couple of hours paddling) to reach the primitive site at Castle Towers from the launch at the lake’s west end, which almost guarantees that you’ll usually have the site to yourself. Elsewhere in Garibaldi Provincial Park, there are alpine hut’s and wilderness campsites at Russet Lake, 2 km east of Singing Pass, and at the northwest end of Wedgemount Lake.

Brandywine Falls Provincial Park, 20 km south of Whistler, is girdled by Hwy 99 on the west and the BC Rail line on the east. The impressive Brandywine waterfall is reached by a short and pleasant flat walk from the carpark along Brandywine Creek. The vehicle/tent campsites here are in constant use in warm weather, but once snow falls, the campground closes for the winter.

Nairn Falls Provincial Park is located just south of Pemberton beside Hwy 99, and features captivating views and day-use areas. As it flows through the park, the Green River carves its way through a mass of granite at the foot of Mount Currie. Having picked up volume from the Soo River and Rutherford Creek on its way from Green Lake in the Whistler area, it swirls and crashes its way along until it reaches a fracture in the granite. Suddenly, its broad shape is transformed into a thundering column of whitewater as it drops 197 feet (60 metres) at Nairn Falls.

The Callaghan Valley is an outdoor adventure playground in the southern Coast Mountains, 8 miles (13 km) south of Whistler Village. Callaghan Valley offers Nordic skiing on miles of track-set classic cross-country ski trails, peaceful snowshoeing in the old growth forests and sub-alpine meadows, and snowmobiling through old-growth forests and deep powder bowls. Callaghan Valley will host the biathlon, cross-country skiing, Nordic combined and ski jumping for the 2010 Vancouver-Whistler Olympic Winter Games. Wildlife is abundant in the snow-draped stands of yellow cedar, balsam fir and mountain hemlock of the Callaghan and Soo valleys, including mountain goat, moose, grizzly bears, black bears, and cougar.

North of Whistler (27 miles/35 km), tucked beyond the Coast Mountains, lies Pemberton Valley and the rustic village of Pemberton. Visitors remark upon the beauty of this stretch of peaceful farmland sheltered all around by the majestic snow-capped Coastal Mountains. Pemberton provides a very convenient base for visiting the ski resort at Whistler.

South of Whistler at the head of Howe Sound, and surrounded by towering mountains, is the community of Squamish. Growing in fame as the Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada, visitors will discover the abundance of attractions, activities, and opportunities to explore in the community of Squamish.

Circle Tours: See the best of the area on a driving Circle Tour. Head north out of Vancouver for the scenic Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island Circle Tour, or stay on the intensely scenic Sea to Sky Highway, passing through the magical winter resort town of Whistler and Coast Mountains Circle Tour.
