Whistler Creekside at the base of Whistler Mountain

History of "Whistler Creekside"
Whistler Creek was the original ski access onto Whistler Mountain that first opened in 1966. Providing the longest vertical ski decent in North America since, "The Creek" has long been favoured by locals as the place to start and end their ski day. Dusty's Bar & Grill has always been "the" end of day Après for many local ski legends of the Whistler Resort. Recently things have changed, holding on to its history but completely modernized, Whistler Creek is now the focus for the future. Vancouver-Whistler has been chosen as host of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Whistler Creek will be where it all happens. The recently announced ski run expansion of the "Peak to Creek" is now ready for the new ski season.
