Sights & Attractions in Whistler and Blackcomb

Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, part of Whistler Resort, which will host the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, are consistently ranked among North America's top ski destinations. Between them they have the largest ski area and the two longest vertical drops on the continent, as well as one of the world's most advanced lift systems. And the ski-in, ski-out village has enough shops, restaurants, nightlife, and other activities to fill a vacation without ever hitting the slopes. In winter the resort buzzes with skiers and snowboarders from all over the world; in summer the pace relaxes as the focus shifts to cycling, hiking, golfing, and boating, though heli-skiers will still find snow.
