Number one. Period. Skiers know it. Snowboarders drool over it. But there is so much more to enjoy at Whistler in the summer, too. When the snow melts, a breathtaking network of extensive and clever mountain bike trails emerge. Hiking, golfing, inline skating, tennis, horseback riding and fishing round out the longest list of off-the-couch activities you will find, anywhere. But you won't believe the nightlife and shopping opportunities either. Whistler sustains a unique energetic buzz that's not easy to come by elsewhere. As co-host for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, everyone is smiling even more than before as they gear up for the show.
