As one of the premier ski and snowboarding destinations in all of North America, guests may now enjoy free Whistler wifi at specified locations.
Implemented in stages over a two year period, the project will enable visitors to connect from key locations throughout Whistler Village.
Currently, the first install is live at Whistler Olympic Plaza. Located in the heart of the village, it is bordered by the Olympic Rings and serves as a key locale for concerts and events. Furthermore, it is a hub of local activity.

“We hear time and time again, through our visitor surveys, that free WiFi is not only a priority for our guests, but it’s really an expectation,” explains Barrett Fisher, Tourism Whistler’s President & CEO.
“Not only is the addition of free WiFi good news for our guests, it also means that they’ll be able to share their Whistler photos and help to spread that positive word-of-mouth messaging that we know is so vital in today’s competitive landscape.”
Free Whistler Wifi
Once the project is complete, there may be 30 WiFi access points powering 10 hotspots in key gathering locations throughout Whistler Village. Thus, the project will allow visitors to connect to the Internet at no cost.
In 2018, the locations will include:
- Whistler Olympic Plaza
- Whistler Conference Centre
- Village Square
In 2019, access points will be added at the following locations:
- Mountain Square
- Town Plaza
- Village Common
- Skiers’ Plaza
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.
