Geographical influences

Whistler is a world famous ski resort, in British Colombia in south west Canada. Along with the neighbouring resort of Blackcomb it’s found in the Coast Mountain range. The Pacific Ocean air helps to stop temperatures falling too low in winter and spring. Conditions are six to seven degrees colder on the higher slopes than in the valleys.
