A resort town in British Columbia, Whistler has been among the finest destinations in North America for a long time. With a population of around 9,900, Whistler receives over two million visitors every year. Time and again it has been voted as the best ski resort in North America.
The climate in Whistler ranges from marine to continental. It experiences warm, dry summers and cold, wet winters. Winter tourism is rampant with average snowfall being 14 feet. Summers bring with them a much sought after opportunity to sight a bear.
Historically, Whistler had no infrastructure, electricity or proper roads. The situation changed when it was explored as an option for a ski resort and finally opened to the public in 1966. Logging was one of the major occupations in Whistler.
