Whistler has all the ingredients of the perfect getaway. Blackcomb and Whistler mountains boast 200 runs, and a variety of lifts speed skiers and snowboarders up the slopes. In the summer, open-air concerts entertain crowds and buskers wander the pedestrian malls. Visitors can bike the paved valley trails, play eighteen holes in a number of local golf courses, hike the alpine trails, or even take trapeze lessons. In Whistler, some of Canada's best-known photographers have captured the sights and colors of the area, from the grandeur of Black Tusk to the thrill of a black-diamond run. This new edition is a celebration of the vitality and activity that make the village unique.
