Whistler, Canada’s premier ski resort, has so much more to offer than just skiing and snowboarding during its winter season. Home to the 2010 Winter Olympics, Whistler is a winter adventure playground for all. Beside skiing and snowboarding, Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains are home to winter adventures including snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ziplining and tobogganing.
