Whistler, BC



Whistler is a Canadian resort town in the southern Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains in the province of British Columbia, Canada. The Whistler valley is formed by the pass between the headwaters of the Green River and the upper-middle reaches of the Chiasmus. Whistler experiences cool wet winters, and dry warm summers. Over two million people visit Whistler annually, primarily for alpine skiing and mountain biking at Whistler-Blackcomb. Its pedestrian village has won numerous design awards and Whistler has been voted among the top destinations in North America.



Whistler was the Host Mountain Resort of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympics Games, the first time the IOC has bestowed that designation on a community. Whistler hosted the alpine technical and speed events, the sliding events at Fitzsimmons Creek, the Nordic events in the nearby Callaghan Valley and all the Paralympics events except the opening ceremonies, sledge hockey and wheelchair curling. The Whistler Olympic and Paralympics Village (commonly referred to as the Athlete's village) housed around 2,400 athletes, coaches, trainers and officials. Post-games, the site will be turned into a new residential neighborhood.
