A winter wonderland

Home to one of the largest ski resorts in North America, here we are at Whistler, B.C. A two-hour drive away from Vancouver, this cozy, picturesque town tends to be highly busy between December and March. Locals and visitors can be found indulging in activities such as skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing and snowshoeing. What lies at the epicentre is the Whistler Village - a pedestrian-only area bustling with patios, restaurants, rental shops and street entertainment. However this year, given the current pandemic, activities and access to the resort may be limited.
