Considering the fact that Whistler is the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics, the popular four-season Canadian getaway only continues to heat up as a second home destination.
In addition to translating into good value, buying in Whistler is a lifestyle investment. Often the go-to destination for romantic vacation getaways, Whistler is as majestic in its natural beauty as its charm. Conveniently located in British Colombia's coastal region (north of Vancouver), Whistler's comfortable winter climate and superb snow conditions make it a great place for an array of winter activities.
Warmer months are ideal for adventurous bike rides through the mountains, scenic strolls along tranquil trails, and savoring the great outdoors from the porch of a mountain cabin with a nice glass of wine. In the winter, skiing the snow-capped mountains is the activity that reigns supreme. Whistler Mountain, and nearby Blackcomb, are considered to be two of the best ski and snowboard resorts in the world.
Whistler is part of British Columbia's Coastal Temperate Rain Forest. This means Whistler Blackcomb Mountains are consistently blessed with perfect snow conditions from late November until April. The Pacific Ocean moderates temperatures, resulting in cool summers and mild winters, making Whistler a generous host year round.
