Things to do in Whistler
Skiing
Whistler is considered as amongst the best ski destinations in North America thanks to the two Whistler and Blackcomb mountains that loom over the village. Together they provide over 8000 acres of skiable terrain. If skiing or boarding is what you are looking for, then Whistler-Blackcomb will keep you more than satisfied.
The ski resort with 37 lifts servicing over 200 runs on two mountains and a vertical drop of over 1,500 meters (5,000 feet), is the largest in North America. The variation in terrain is massive - from beginner areas to groomed cruising runs to alpine bowls heaped with fresh snow, so there is something to suit all experience levels. Those who wish to indulge in freestyle can take advantage of the four terrain parks, a snow cross track, and a superpipe.
Biking
Spring is usually unpredictable with weather ranging from cold and wet to warm and sunny. By May the snow begins to melt and in June many hiking and biking trails open in the lower elevation. The Blackcomb Glacier opens for a few hours a day from mid-June to early August, but the number of runs are limited as most of it is used by summer ski and snowboard camps.
Art scene
Whistler also boasts a flourishing arts community. The natural beauty and incredible scenery attracts artists from around the world who sell their paintings, sculptures, prints and other artworks.
