 WHISTLER
- CANADA
Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, both
part of the Whistler Resort, are the two largest
ski mountains in North America and are consistently
ranked as the No. 1 or 2 ski destinations on the
continent. They offer winter and summer glacier
skiing, the longest vertical drop in North America,
and one of the most advanced lift systems in the
world. Some 32 high speed lifts, 200 trails, and
12 alpine bowls cover more than 7,000 acres. Whistler
has also grown in popularity as a summer destination,
with a range of family oriented outdoor activities
and events...
When planning a trip to Whistler, consider
extending it to include the Coast Mountain Circle,
which links Vancouver to the Cariboo Region. This
435-mile route takes in spectacular Howe Sound,
the deep-water port of Squamish, Whistler Resort,
and the Pemberton Valley before heading back to
Vancouver through scenic Fraser Canyon and Harrison
Hot Springs. This loop can be comfortably completed
in two to three days, with time to stop and enjoy
points of interest along the way.
