Until a few years ago, the road from Vancouver to Whistler was a scenic (but terrifying) stretch of highway known as the "Sea to Sky Highway", but nicknamed the "Highway of Death." Drivers enjoyed beautiful views of British Columbia and the Pacific Ocean, but the narrow road ran along a steep cliff with no guardrail, and there were many fatalities. Fortunately, the road has been upgraded for the Olympics and it is now much safer!
Many young people (particularly from Europe and Australia) live and work in Whistler temporarily. If you love to ski or snowboard and would like to live in Canada for a few months or years, you could be one of them! All those young people and the 2 million tourists who visit Whistler every year give the town a fun, relaxed atmosphere, and there's always a party somewhere!
