When to go to Whistler?
Whistler Blackcomb is the largest ski area in North America, and the Peak 2 Peak Gondola crosses between its two mountains in a single span. The village below is car-free: timber, terraces and the clump of ski boots on the walkways. Come summer the lifts carry bikes instead, and the Bike Park sends riders down the same slopes on two wheels.
