Whistler Mountain

Guestbook Below the Inukshuk

Whistler is located in the spectacular Coast Mountains of British Columbia just two hours north of Vancouver. It is the home of Canada's favorite and my favorite year-round destination. From the scenic, snow capped mountains that create a carpet of snow to ski on in the winter to the rugged groomed dirt bike trails in the summer. The numerous activities make it a place created for everyone in my family. It has the shaped the adventurous identity that I live by. I go there faithfully every summer and do not want to leave each time. When you stand at the peak of Whistler mountain beside the inukshuk, with the clean, crisp air blowing at your face, you really feel you are at the top of Canada. With all Whistler has to offer at your feet. Below the sheer sloped mountain lies the heart of Whistler, Whistler village. It is a vibrant base for spending the night, shopping or simply just hanging-out. Whistler is the home of nature lovers with its evergreen canopy above, to the diversified wildlife that inhabits it. Whistler's preserved history and culture lies in the hands of the Squamish Lil'wat people that are known for their marvelous wood carvings and traditional dances. They presented their culture to the world at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games with the famous logo of the Inukshuk and their dances as preformed at the opening ceremonies. This connected me to the culture of my "the best place on earth" in my home and native land. From below the Inukshuk to the green forested areas, Whistler is my home.
