Few places in British Columbia pull off the trick of being both a world-class ski destination and a summer playground. Whistler Mountain, the larger half of the Whistler-Blackcomb resort, has been doing exactly that since it opened in 1966.

Elevation: 2,182 m (7,159 ft) · Skiable Terrain: 8,171 acres · Number of Trails: 200+ · Distance from Vancouver: 120 km (75 mi) · Winter Olympics Host: 2010

Whistler Mountain has been a different kind of mountain since opening day.
