Whistler

Whistler

The Whistler Section is located in the rugged Coast Mountains of British Columbia. These mountains are steep, big and uncrowded. The valleys are heavily forested and the alpine area is heavily glaciated. The summer hiking is spectacular and filled with a large variety of beautiful alpine flowers. The granite rock from Squamish to Lillooet is world-class. The snow is deep and plentiful from November to July.

Huts And Other Activities

The Wendy Thompson Hut gives skiers access to extensive ski touring in the Marriott Basin north of Whistler and Section members receive a discounted rate on overnights.

Trip Schedule

We are mountain people and our section is very active. Last year we offered over 100 trips to our section members. Our trips are offered for all ability levels and include introductory courses and advanced outings. Trips vary in length from 1 day to 14 days and the objectives of these trips are to have fun, learn and respect the mountains.

During the winter months we run a variety of backcountry ski trips in the local Whistler/Blackcomb area and off the Duffy Lake Road north of Pemberton. Once a year we run a Spearhead trip – a three- to five-day traverse across a stunning ring of glaciers in the Whistler area.

In summer months we organize climbing evenings at Cheakamus Canyon and encourage climbers of all (or no) experience levels to join us. We also run over 60 hiking outings a summer on trails in the local area.

We appreciate that the lands known today as Canada are home to the enduring presence of all First Nations and Métis people, and the Inuit and we acknowledge the past, present, and future generations of these Nations who continue to lead us in stewarding this land, as well as honour their knowledge and cultural ties to this place. The Alpine Club of Canada’s head office is located in the traditional lands of Treaty 7, which is comprised of the Stoney Nakoda Nations of Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw; three Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Piikani, Kainai, and Siksika; the Mountain Cree; and the Tsuu T’ina of the Dene people. This territory is also shared with the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. Before the signing of Treaty 7, and prior to the establishment of provincial boundaries, this region was also used by the Ktunaxa and the Maskwacis people.
