Whistler Museum Marks 60th Anniversary of Whistler Mountain Opening
The Whistler Museum is commemorating the 60th anniversary of Whistler Mountain's opening. The mountain first opened in 1964, with Blackcomb Mountain following in 1980. The two ski areas operated independently until 1997, with Whistler's trails designed to traverse the slopes laterally while Blackcomb's followed more direct descent lines. The museum's archival content highlights this historical development in mountain resort design.
