The continent's top ski resort, Whistler is nestled in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, 85 miles north of Vancouver International Airport. With more than 200 runs and a ski area of more than 8,100 acres, Whistler is North America's largest ski destination. Guests can choose from two mountains -- Whistler and Blackcomb, peaking at 7,160 feet -- and ride one of the most advanced high-speed lift systems in the world. In addition to downhill, fresh-track, heli- and Nordic skiing, guests can also snowboard, dog sled, winter fish, ice climb, snowshoe and more.
