The Sea to Sky
Whistler is one of North America’s top mountain resorts, offering world-class skiing, biking, hiking, and five stunning lakes. Just 90 minutes north of Vancouver, it’s home to a vibrant arts scene and a close-knit community of over 10,000.
The Sea to Sky Corridor, from Squamish to Pemberton, is rich in outdoor adventure and renowned destinations like Whistler Mountain Bike Park. The region also features excellent dining, shopping, and cultural events.
Despite its popularity, Whistler maintains a small-town feel. Annual festivals like Cornucopia, Crankworx, and the World Ski and Snowboard Festival reflect its welcoming, community spirit.
