Whistler’s world-class ski slopes are a magnet for celebrities seeking quality winter time. David Beckham came here with his whole family to learn how to snowboard in 2017 and fell in love with the resort.
Prince Harry accompanied by his spouse Meghan Markle came to Whistler to celebrate Valentine’s Day earlier this year.

Whistler can definitely satisfy the sophisticated palates of the rich and famous offering a wide range of places to eat and drink. Comedian and actress Chelsea Handler loves to go to the Sushi Village Japanese restaurant for dinner after a day of heli-skiing, in fact, she’s made it a tradition to spend her birthday in Whistler and mark it with extravagant topless photoshoots on the slopes.
