WELCOME TO WHISTLER BC Whistler is famous for its two spectacular winter playgrounds, Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.

Bythe numbers, “the hills”—as they are affectionately known by locals—are incredibly appealing to any skior snowboard enthusiast, as they boast a combined 8171 acres of terrain, 200+ marked runs, and 1170 centimetres (461 inches) of average annual snowfall.

But it’s the top marks the resort earns in the categories of terrain variety, off-hill activity, terrain parks, après and overall experience that have earned Whistler the #1 Resort award by Ski Magazine.

If variety is the spice of life, then Whistler’s impressive range of activities will ensure everyone has a tasteof an adventure they enjoy. For those who revel in recreating under their own steam, there’s ice skating and hockey, cross-country skiing (including a trail fordogs), tobogganing, snowshoeing, and eagle viewing. Gravity fed snow-sports that will get your heart pumping encompass skiing, snowboarding, ziplining, snowmobiling, bungee jumping, heli-skiing, cat-skiing, bobsleigh riding and skeleton sliding. Feel the excitement as you hone your axe throwing skills, challenge your puzzle-solving ability in escape rooms, or experience a unique dog sledding tour led by our furry four-legged friends. There’s even an opportunity to capture photo memories with your beloved furry friends. Or why not plan a romantic outdoor picnic you’ll reminisce about for years?

Whistler also has a wealth of cultural activities to explore, such as tasting and fondue tours, pub crawls and museums. Learn about the art, history and culture of the indigenous peoples of our region at the Squamish Lílwat Cultural Centre.

To experience the breathtaking views of the Coast Mountain range, their snow-capped peaks and forested terrain, hop on a helicopter for a flight tour or take a ride on the Guinness World record-holding PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, built for sightseers, skiers and snowboarders alike.

Find all you need to have an amazing time in Whistler!

IN WHISTLER, SQUAMISH PEMBERTON & VANCOUVER

My parents preferred presents that we made ourselves and we knew how much our Dad missed Sam, our cocker-spaniel, when he was at work.

So I took and printed a photo of Sam onto a lifesize cardboard cutout for his office.

When Sam saw it for the first time he licked it and Dad laughed.

It is still in his study almost two decades later.

That was my introduction to Dog Photography or PhoDOGraphy.

Whistler has many amazing activities, but you can’t bring your dog to most of them!

A photoshoot of your dog is THE activity focused on your favourite furry family member.

All the attention, all the activity, all the smells, some new friends and of course, T-R-E-A-T-S!

The best scenery in the world = once in a lifetime photos, taken at all the best secret local spots.

Dogs are hilariously unpredictable, which makes photoshoots a fun experience for everyone involved.

We work as a team to get the cutest, funniest photos with as much character and scenery as possible.

What’s the dream photo of your pup? Capturing their character beautifully is our No.1 priority!

You receive the first photos same day, giving you time to print and share them.

Return home with not just the memories of the moments, but with ICONIC images, that capture the heart and soul of the experience, and instantly become part of your family history.

They’ll make you laugh, they’ll make you cry, inspiring you to create new, even better memories for you to share with your dog and your loved ones.
