AUDAIN ART MUSEUM: Rare Collected Photographs and a Re-Imagined Experience
This year we encourage you to be captivated by our spectacular province of British Columbia. Art lovers who seek a world-class art experience need not cross borders. The Audain Art Museum (AAM) in Whistler showcases a permanent collection of more than 200 works of art from British Columbia — from the 18th century to the present day — by diverse, internationally renowned artists.
Adventuring Differently
Socially D.I.S.T.A.N.C.E.D Fun
After a long spring of hunkering down, staying home and staying local, the wanderlust is stronger than ever in many of us right now. Thankfully, British Columbia is opening back up and encouraging local and provincial travel and adventure, but cautiously so, with many new health and safety practices in place.
Getting Off The Beaten Path
Millions of people come to Whistler each year to get away from it all — to find more space, breathe the fresh mountain air and enjoy all that the resort and the Coast Mountains have to offer.
The Origins of Downhill Mountain Biking
Pinning it, sending it, shredding, hucking… whatever you call it, mountain bikers have been coming to Whistler since the mid-1980s to ride down our rugged mountains. It all started in a primitive manner, without bike-specific trails as we know them and initially without chairlifts, but soon lift-accessed mountain biking became a booming business in Whistler. These days, bike parks have become a key summer attraction at many ski resorts around the globe.
The Bounty of The Ocean – Sustainability is Key
Overfishing is a huge global issue, and it can sometimes feel like our efforts to dine sustainably are just a “drop in the ocean” to what is needed, but when it comes to seafood, every dish and every fish count.
