Whistler is an elite ski resort village about 1.5hours drive north of Vancouver. Its an alpine village focused round two mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb - our visit up to the two mountains consisted of 4 different chairlifts and a gondola. Travelling from one mountain to the other, the lift has a total length of 4.4 km and the longest unsupported span for a lift of its kind in the world at 3.02 km while also having the highest ground clearance for a lift of its kind, 436m (1,427 ft) above the valley floor.
In addition Whistler Blackcomb will host the alpine skiing events for the 2010 Winter Olympics, including the men's and women's Olympic and Paralympic alpine skiing, this is happening round February at the moment the snow is only on the highest peaks.
Something native indian 
which you see alot of in Canada is the Inuksuk. It is basically a formation of stones which may have been used for navigation, as a point of reference, a marker for hunting grounds, or as a food cache. You can buy this formation as a carving, jewellery all sorts of touristy things. You can place your orders now :)
