00:11Well welcome to beautiful Whistler Blackcomb here in British Columbia.
00:15We're here for the 60th anniversary.
00:17And we've been promised a few tips from the locals
00:19to help you get the most out of a visit to North America's largest skis.
00:24Music
00:29With more than 200 runs spread across two enormous mountains
00:34and more than 30 square kilometres of terrain,
00:36there's a lot to take in.
00:38From family friendly groomed trails
00:40to extreme double blacks and powder filled tree runs.
00:43Music
00:46To make it easier for first timers to find their way around,
00:50a series of wonder routes has been established,
00:52allowing for a choose your own adventure style trip
00:55from high alpine areas to the cosy bars and restaurants dotted across the resort.
01:01A great way to really discover the best spots on the mountain
01:04is to tag along with a local.
01:06And who better to act as a guide than an Olympian
01:09who competed here at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
01:13It was actually a dream of mine from grade five that I wanted to be in the Olympics
01:17and ski down my dad's run.
01:19And that was before the Olympics for even a twinkle in Whistler's eye.
01:23And it ended up happening.
01:26So close.
01:27Almost on my dad's run.
01:28Just down the road.
01:30Music
01:39There's also a wide range of winter activities beyond the slopes
01:42from hot springs to zip lining and snowmobile tours into the forest.
01:47Music
01:52So if you get a chance, get out here.
01:54It's a magic season at Whistler Blackburn.
