Whistler, often referred to as Whistler Blackcomb, is a town located in the mountains of the British Coast. Formerly, in 1932 its famous ski mountain was called London Mountain due to a British mining operation located in this area. Years later, in 1965, it was renamed Whistler.
In 1992, Whistler received the first of its numerous accolades when it was named the Number One Ski resort in North America by Snow Country Magazine. The accolades continued, as locals strategized and planned their growing resort community, adding summer amenities and a mix of recreational pursuits.
