The Top 10 Reasons Whistler is Rated Number 1 for skiing in North America

Whistler is North America's largest winter resort, and arguably the best. Beautiful any time of year, there is fun and adventure for everyone. Some of the highlights include:

1. Jumps in a wide range of heights, from 25 to 80 feet.
2. High speed lift that provides access to one of the most spectacular high alpine areas in North America, Symphony Amphitheatre.

3. Inbounds backcountry accessibility, once reserved for only those willing to hike for their turns.
4. 1000 acres of intermediate and advanced terrain access.
5. Skiing and ski lessons for adults.
6. Snowboarding and snowboarding lessons for children and teens.
7. Horse-drawn sleigh rides through pristine wilderness.
8. A tube park with a wide range in difficulty with state-of-the-art conveyor lifts.
9. Snowmobiling
10. A luge that follows a 315m track down the mountain.

And that's just during the winter! Visit Whistler during the warmer months and enjoy hiking tours of varying lengths, difficulties and terrains.

Even a non-skier will enjoy Whistler. During the winter there's an unmatched beauty in Whistler Village. Step out of your hotel and you'll discover the meaning of a winter wonderland. If you enjoy shopping, you're in luck. You'll be beckoned by beautiful shops and lovely aromas from the many restaurants.

Go ice-skating or simply sit by a roaring fire. Swim or play tennis during the warm months. No matter the time of year, you will enjoy a magical reprieve from stress and worry at this beautiful mountain resort.
