Whistler Blackcomb
A seminar in Vancouver led to a journey north to Whistler Blackcomb, and into one of the most beautiful landscapes in British Columbia.
Exploring this area means moving between two worlds. At the base, the village is alive with activity, but as you rise into the mountains, that changes. The environment opens, and the scale of the land begins to take over.
