Inukshuk

by GuthrieColin

The Inukshuk, aside from being the mascot of the 2010 winter Olympics has great significance to native peoples of the Canadian north. Translated, Inukshuk means “in the image of man” and it was in that image that native Inuit people built these stone structures. The structures were constructed and used for hundreds, if not thousands of years as compass guides and were used as reference points.
These figures represented safety and reassurance that travelers were on the right path. The structures ranged from 2-3.6 m (7-12 feet) tall and were constructed with no cement only precisely placed rocks. The Olympic construction around Whistler has constructed no fewer than two of these (using rocks and cement) on Whistler Mountain. The first is seen near the Roundhouse Lodge and the other is located at the summit of Whistler Mountain which can be reached by taking “the peak” chair lift to the top of the mountain at 2,182 m (7,160 ft).

5 Star Dining

by hartmany about Umberto

A place for grown ups. Umberto's has an outstanding wine selection. Delicious from appetizer to dessert. While the decor is all dressed up, most of the patrons are not. Expect a hefty bill, but it's worth it.

Whistler Village

by aukahkay

Whistler Village is the heart of Whistler. There are many restaurants, cafes, supermarket and shops selling souvenirs and ski equipment. When I was there in October, some of the restaurants were closed for the season. The gondolas and ski lifts were of course closed for maintenance.

People Watch in Whistler Village

by Albernfrau

Whistler Village is always packed with people. The numerous restaurant patios and many benches offer you great opportunities to people watch. I have to say this is some of the best people watching ever. You can start at 6am and go all day and night always being entertained.
