Whistler is the ultimate year-round resort. Winter features an abundance of downhill skiing at both Whistler and Blackcomb ski areas. In the summer, there's even more to do: alpine hiking, fishing, swimming, windsurfing, horseback riding, canoeing, and white-water rafting. The Village at Whistler has boutiques, sidewalk cafes, numerous bistros, and fine restaurants. Music and art festivals are intertwined with daily street entertainment.
