Description
This is a summer view toward the snow filled cirques of Glacier and Whistler Bowls above the town of Whistler, British Columbia 125 km north of Vancouver. Glacier bowl is directly ahead and Whistler bowl is to the right of the image. The pond in the foreground is a snow making reservoir for the winter ski season.
Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain are two side-by-side ski mountains which combined offer over 200 marked runs, 8,171 acres of terrain, 16 alpine bowls and three glaciers. In the summer, Whistler Blackcomb offers a variety of activities, including hiking and biking trails, the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, and sightseeing on the Peak 2 Peak Gondola.
By many measures this is the largest ski resort in North America. Whistler Blackcomb is 50% larger than its nearest competitor in terms of size, has the greatest uphill lift capacity, and until 2009, had the highest vertical skiable distance by a wide margin. The Peak 2 Peak Gondola is used for moving skiers between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains; The gondula holds records for the highest and longest unsupported cable car span in the world. With all of this capacity, Whistler Blackcomb is also often the most-visited ski resort, often besting 2 million visitors a year. - Wikki
