We’re a group of Whistler-lovers, who have made this resort our home and want to share with you why we made that decision. The team is made up of people from all over the world, each with their own perspective on what makes these mountains their special place. We’ve gone through the posts of 2021 and pulled out five of the most-read and / or commented on blogs from over the year.

1. Why Whistler? Video Series

This 10-part video series asked a variety of Whistler locals the question – Why Whistler?

4. 5 Reasons to Live, Work and Play in Whistler

Whistler is a destination that people dream about visiting and for some lucky people, myself included, when we wake up, the dream doesn’t end. We get to shred pow before work, use a gondola for our morning commute, hang out with people who understand the 20 centimetre rule, learn from a passionate community of likeminded, mountain explorers and weave the magnetic pull of the mountains into our own lives, in whatever form that takes.
