A Tranquil Escape from the Everyday
A Tranquil Escape from the Everyday
Rising a mile above the town of Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, are two unbelievable mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb. Together they represent over 8000 acres of skiable terrain. Located in the central mountains of BC, Whistler is a quick 72 minutes from Vancouver and offers unforgettable winter and summer activities. When it comes to skiing, Whistler Blackcomb has everything-and then some. Choose from steeps, deeps, chutes, high alpine bowls, glades, superb corduroy, long cruisers, and gentle rollers. Riders and skiers will revel in the parks and pipes on both mountains, plus natural launch pads, hits, wind-lips, cornices, cliff drops, and ridges.
The place is a huge, natural terrain park consistently ranked in the top 5 for North American resorts selected by industry magazines such as SKI, SKIING, Powder and TransWorld Snowboarding. Not to mention an extra-long season that lasts into mid June. There is a
local saying “You come to Whistler for the winters, but you stay for the summer.” Enjoy a mountain top BBQ; take the kids to the Blackcomb Base Adventure Zone, fun central for kids. Also choose from four championship designer golf courses, horseback riding in the mountains, and guided fishing tours, ATV tours, jet boat adventures, Ziptrek Ecotours and so much more. Summers in Whistler are packed with exciting and entertaining events. Street entertainers, musicians and clowns can be seen throughout the village and concerts, festivals and tournaments abound. There’s no shortage of nightlife in Whistler with everything from laidback pubs to energetic dance clubs.
Whistler isn’t just for adrenaline junkies. It is also a relaxation destination with world-class yoga studios, spas and wellness centers. Solarice Wellness Centre and Spa takes a holistic approach, combining Western treatments with ancient Eastern therapies. Melt your troubles away with a 30-minute massage or drop in and clear your mind with a yoga session.
