Summer may have officially started, but parts of Whistler are looking rather chilly.
Soaring high above passersby, the mountain’s famous snow walls greet hikers with their majestic presence.
Indeed, these towering structures are truly spectacular. For one, the glistening, alabaster walls are tightly packed with snowfall from the winter season. As such, they provide evidence as to just how much snow fell on the mountain this year.
In fact, Whistler Mountain’s ski season opened much earlier than anticipated. With an early influx of snow, as well as much more of it, the walls are stacked even higher than usual.

The tallest walls are located between the Harmony Inukshuk and the top Harmony Chair, and therefore make outstanding photographs. In addition, they also have a line of sight that looks down the snow walls and through to Blackcomb Mountain.
Of course, these impressive structures will start to melt. So, if you have your heart set on seeing them up close and personal, it is advised to make your hiking arrangements as soon as possible.

You may also want to check out the new Whistler Suspension Bridge; however, it is not for the faint of heart, towering 7,200 feet above sea level.
The suspension bridge is just one part of Blackcomb’s impressive $345-million Renaissance project. In fact, they’re looking to add a lot of attractions to the area including a weather-independent adventure centre with waterslides, waves, rope swings and caves.
