spectacular views of the mountains. The building of the Village began in 1979
and opened officially in the winter of 1980. That same year, Blackcomb Mountain
opened for its first season and Whistler opened lifts on the north side of the
mountain-linking two mountain bases in the new village. |

lands while unwinding in the outdoor heated pool and hot tub. |

|
| The name Whistler has two stories of how it came about. It
may have been inspired by the piercing whistling of a small mountain animal
called the Marmot. It is also said that when the wind blew and came through the
mountains, it sounded like it was whistling. |
|
|
| Additional features include: Double-Jacuzzi soaker tubs,
gas fireplaces, sit-down showers, fully equipped kitchens, view balconies,
VCR's and cable TV's. |
|
|
| On February 15, 1966, with dreams of hosting a Winter
Olympics, Whistler Mountain had its official opening with 1200 vertical meters
(4000 feet) of skiable terrain and 5 ski lifts operating from what is now known
as Whistler Creek. By 1978, a community plan was established with a pedestrian
only village, wide walkways, clock towers, and gabled roofs. |

|
