WHISTLER , 56km beyond Squamish,
is Canada's finest four-season resort, and frequently ranks among
most people's world top-five winter ski resorts. In 1996, for
the first time ever, Ski , Snow Country and Skiing magazines were
unanimous in voting it North America's top skiing destination.
Skiing and snowboarding are clearly the main activities, but all
manner of other winter sports are possible and in summer the lifts
keep running to provide supreme highline hiking and other outdoor
activities (not to mention North America's finest summer skiing).
Standards are high, and for those raised on the queues and waits
at European resorts, the ease with which you can get onto the
slopes here will come as a pleasant surprise.
The resort consists of two adjacent but separate
mountains - Whistler (2182m) and Blackcomb
(2284m) - each with their own extensive lift and chair systems,
and each covered in a multitude of runs. Both lift systems are
accessed from the resort's heart, the purpose-built and largely
pedestrianized Whistler Village , the tight-clustered
focus of many hotels, shops, restaurants and apr?s-ski activity.
Around this core are two other "village" complexes,
Upper Village and the recently completed Village North. Around
6km to the south of Whistler Village is Whistler Creek
(also with a gondola and lift base), which has typically
been a cheaper alternative but is now undergoing a $50 million
redevelopment that will see its accommodation and local services
duplicating those of its famous neighbour. In truth the whole
ribbon of land on and just off the main Hwy 99 from Whistler Creek
to Whistler Village is gradually being developed - Whistler is
the single fastest-growing municipality in BC.
