Whistler Outdoors. Beautiful British Columbia

While living in Vancouver we spent most of our leisure time in and around the beautiful village of Whistler. We hiked, skied, ate too much, golfed and enjoyed everything we did there. Did you know that more than two million visitors come to Whistler each year. Just as many in summer as in winter.
We learned to ski here and just love the mountains. With over 200 runs and 34 chair lifts it’s a far cry from the 2 chairs that were in operation when we first started.
We introduced our 4 daughters to camping here. Now we are like one big happy family as we still get out together. Two of the girls and their husbands are backpackers and spend all of their vacations hiking the trails.
We noticed there didn’t seem to be a web site that covered all of the things to do in Whistler. We wished that we could have found one that had great descriptions of hiking trails and ski information.
It took us years to discover everything here.
Now that the 2010 Vancouver Olympics are approaching we thought it would be nice to have all the information on the games as well.
After finding your web site and reading all of the information you have gathered we thought, “let’s do one just like it on Whistler.”
Whistler-Outdoors.com is now up and running with everything a person needs to know for a happy family vacation in the beautiful valley of Whistler, British Columbia.
