Build a ski resort in the remote Coast Mountains of BC, in a valley without roads or telephones or even electricity? Impossible.

But Whistler Mountain defied the odds when it opened in 1966. Today Whistler-Blackcomb is the benchmark by which every other resort measures its success.


From backcountry fishing haven in 1914 to world-class mountain resort in 2002, this is the story of Whistler and the people who played such a huge role in creating the Whistler style-early pioneer Myrtle Philip, Olympic champion Nancy Greene-Raine, extreme skiing trailblazer Jim McKonkey, World Cup downhiller Rob Boyd and many more.

Whistler: Against All Odds is a story thats never been told about a place that defies description.
