Whistler Mountain is a prominent peak in the Pacific Ranges mountain range, located in British Columbia, Canada. Standing at an elevation of approximately 2,184 meters (7,165 feet), it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The mountain is part of the larger Whistler Blackcomb resort, renowned for its world-class skiing and snowboarding opportunities.

During the winter season, Whistler Mountain receives abundant snowfall, making it a haven for winter sports enthusiasts. The snowpack ranges from about 2 to 3 meters (6 to 10 feet), providing excellent conditions for skiing and snowboarding. The mountain boasts a vast skiable terrain of over 3,307 hectares (8,171 acres), ensuring there is ample space for all skill levels.

Whistler Mountain is fed by several creeks and rivers, including Fitzsimmons Creek and the Green River. These water bodies receive runoff from the mountain's melting snow during the spring and summer months, contributing to the overall water supply in the region.

The name "Whistler" is said to have originated from the shrill whistling sound made by the Western Hoary Marmot, a small alpine mammal commonly found in the area. The mountain has a rich history, with Indigenous communities having inhabited the region for thousands of years. Today, Whistler Mountain continues to attract adventure seekers from around the world, offering not only exceptional outdoor experiences but also a glimpse into the cultural and natural heritage of the Pacific Ranges.
