Vancouver and Whistler are situated on the West Coast, in the province of British Columbia. The city of Vancouver, next to the Pacific Ocean, is surrounded by water on three sides and is framed by the Coast Mountains. Whistler, a mountain resort located approximately 126 kilometres (78 miles) from Vancouver, comprises 8,171 acres of skiable terrain and 551 acres of parkland. The base elevation of the town of Whistler is 668 metres (2192 feet).
