Whistler is Epic: a mile of vertical, two massive linked mountains, world-class terrain, an average of 10 metres of snow a season, an Olympic heritage and a village with a vibe like no other – Whistler is a giant winter sports paradise that rivals anything else on the planet.
However, taking a ski break in British Columbia doesn’t have to start and finish in resort. Make the most of your time in British Columbia by pairing your Whistler ski holiday with some time in Vancouver, one of the world’s most exciting and cosmopolitan cities, on the shores of the Pacific Ocean with a majestic backdrop of snow-capped mountains.
