Whistler Ski Resort

　　   Whistler is a world-renowned destination for alpine skiing and mountain biking, and is the largest ski resort in North America. For the past fifteen years, it has been selected multiple times by various ski magazines as one of the best ski resorts in North America. It also hosted several events during the 2010 Winter Olympics and the 2010 Winter Paralympics.

　　   Whistler Mountain Ski Resort opened in 1966, covering an area of 3,657 acres with an elevation of 1,530 meters. It boasts over 100 ski runs, making it the ski resort with the most runs in Canada. These include 25% expert-level runs, 55% intermediate runs, and 20% beginner-friendly runs, allowing visitors to choose runs that suit their skill levels. In addition, Whistler has a long ski season, typically running from November to May each year, and sometimes even extending into August for summer skiing. You don’t necessarily have to wait for winter to enjoy skiing — head to the top of Blackcomb Mountain in summer to experience the thrill of gliding on glaciers.
