Whistler ski & snowboard holidays take you to a superb, purpose built resort in the coastal mountains of British Columbia. Lying at an altitude of six hundred and seventy metres, it is the largest and most popular resort in North America. With a relaxed ambience, slopes to suit all ability levels and an apres ski scene that provides a lively party atmosphere, Whistler attracts visitors from every age with groups of young adults, couples and families all eager to enjoy the resort's resources. Whistler and Blackcomb are the two mountains whose peaks are linked by a gondola which gives passengers an exhilarating journey with 'never to be forgotten' scenic views. The highest lift reaches almost two thousand three hundred metres and with the average annual snowfall of over nine metres, Whistler is snow sure throughout the season. Lying at a low level, the precipitation that falls as snow on the mountain, may fall as rain in the resort. There are good snow making facilities at low levels. The modern lift system gives quick and easy access to the slopes. Whistler is a good choice for those with non-skiers in their party as there is plenty to see and do in the town.
