Whistler is one of the world's top resort destinations. It offers an incredible range of outdoor activities and an array of accommodations, shops, restaurants and cafes, pubs and nightlife, spas and other wellness activities, all set in a welcoming alpine culture with an energy all its own.

The best ski and snowboard resort in North America, Whistler is also a popular summer destination. Over half of its more than two million annual visitors come here in summer to experience championship golf in a mountain setting, one of the best mountain biking areas in the world, and much more. 

The number of travel, sport, recreation, adventure, health & wellness, and sustainability stories in Whistler is endless, especially with the world's attention now turning to Whistler as the Host Mountain Resort of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

This media room is designed to help media with general information on Whistler, its status as an Olympic destination, specific story starters, images and b-roll, statistics and facts, and profiles of local people and groups. We can also assist with media visits to Whistler.
