Whistler: 100 Years of Dreams
In August 2011, the Whistler Museum held five days of free community events, celebrating Whistler's culture, art, music, theatre and history. With lots of summer activities, family fun and kid's games, an awesome time was had by all. The festivities were to celebrate 100 years since pioneers Alex and Myrtle Philip arrived in the valley.
The soundtrack to this video is the winning entry from the Whistler Anthem Project contest, local musician Chad Oliver.
Whistler Forest History
Over the last century, wildfires, industrial forestry, and urbanization have all contributed to major environmental change around Whistler, British Columbia. **Using forestry maps and other archival documents, the Whistler Forest History Project, in partnership with the Whistler Museum and the Forest History Association of British Columbia has produced an extensive GIS-based database of historical forest disturbances,encompassing the Whistler Valley's transformation from an isolated mountain outpost to a world-renowned ski resort and Olympic host city. This video provides an overview of the mapping project, offering a comprehensive and compelling visual record of these landscape changes up to the present day, as well as key insights into the increasingly forgotten and often misunderstood role played by the forestry industry throughout Whistler's history.

Whistler Travel Guide - Exploring Magical Canada
Whistler Travel Guide - Exploring Magical Canada
Whistler is in the province of British Columbia in Canada. Boasting the largest ski area in North America, Whistler is a popular winter snow-skiing and outdoor sports destination near Vancouver. The official name for the municipality is the Resort Municipality of Whistler. Before the skiers and boarders came, Whistler was a logging town with the name Alta Lake, which was well-known for its snow.
After Squaw Valley hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics, a group of Canadian investors hatched a plan to build a ski resort on London Mountain in the Alta Lake area in the hope of attracting the 1968 Winter Olympics. It was soon realized that the name London was terribly inappropriate because to most people, the term London referenced a major Western European urban metropolis with flat terrain and a severe air pollution problem, which was completely incongruent with the preferred image of a pollution-free skier's paradise. London Mountain was eventually renamed Whistler Mountain after the high-pitched whistling or chirping sound made by the hoary marmots native to the area. The Olympic dream wasn't realized immediately, but the first ski resort at Whistler opened in what is now the Creekside area in January 1966.
In December 1980, Intrawest Corporation opened a second resort nearby on Blackcomb Mountain. Earlier that year, the planned community to the east of Alta Lake now known as Whistler Village finally opened. In March 1997, Intrawest Corporation merged with the Whistler Mountain Ski Corporation, and they merged their respective resorts to form the modern Whistler Blackcomb resort. Whistler got its Olympic wish fulfilled in 2010, when it hosted sliding events and certain ski events for the 2010 Winter Olympics. During the Great Recession, Intrawest spun off Whistler Blackcomb into a separate public corporation in 2010, then sold the last of its shares in that entity in 2012.
Not surprisingly for a ski resort, Whistler gets its fair share of snow and cold weather. Typical winter temperatures average about 0°C during the day and -6°C overnight in the Village, but on rare occasions it approaches -40 Below F° /C°. Snow typically on the ground from December into April. Summer days can be quite warm, with temperatures reaching the high 20s C°- 70 F°; but nights tend to be cool. As with the nearby Fraser Valley or Lower Mainland, there is significantly more precipitation from November through April than other times of the year.
The town of Whistler sprawls out around the valley, but the heart of the Whistler experience focuses on the European-style villages built as planned communities around the base of the gondolas. Most of the accommodation, restaurants, bars, shops and the Blackcomb and Whistler gondolas are in Whistler Creekside (Old Alpha Lake), Whistler Village and the Upper Village, at the foot of Whistler and Blackcomb. Village North (Blackcomb Village), built around the old base of Blackcomb, is smaller but still has a number of restaurants and hotels. Whistler Creekside is built around the original gondola on the south side of Whistler Mountain. There is a new southern town site at the former Olympic Village Site called Cheackamus; the location of the Whistler hostel, 20 min from Whistler Village. The small town of Pemberton is only 20 minutes to the north of the Whistler town limits and is a quiet bedroom community for a large number of Whistler workers.
