Whistler
Population
over 7,000. Whistler started out as
a ski resort
but
today it is a year round tourist destination
This is the
north end of BC-99 at this time. The
highway continues north and east to connect with the Trans-Canada Highway
near Kamloops but we believe it is only open in the summer.
