- Whistler 2016
For ISFR, 2016 is the year of the big one. Celebrating Whistler Rotary’s 40th anniversary, on February 20-27th, 2016 we are returning to North America’s largest ski area Whistler.
Time is running out. Book now! More information on our detailed event page.
The combination of 5,280 feet vertical on more than 200 marked runs (25% green,55% blue, 25% black) covering 8,171 acres of terrain, 16 alpine bowls, and three glaciers with long high-speed lifts makes Whistler-Blackcomb an unmatched skiing destination. Add in an of average 1,164 centimetres (458 inches) of snow annually, restaurants where you want them up and down the mountain, sightseeing on the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola with one of the longest ski seasons in North America and you will find something for everyone, every day. Check out Whistler Blackcomb.
No wonder that Ski Magazine’s reader survey has voted Whistler Blackcomb as it’s #1 Ranked Overall North American Resort again for 2016. Readers also gave the resort top marks for Terrain Variety, Off-Hill Activities, Après and Terrain Parks.

Schedule
ISFR in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Whistler and the Rotary Club of Whistler Millennium have arranged a jam packed schedule of activities tailored for the ISFR trip. Some highlights include:
- Skiing with guides. Whistler and Blackcomb are humongous mountains. The best way to learn about them is to ski with a local; the Rotary Clubs are ready, willing and able.
- Tech Camp New for ISFR this year. A three day progressive program designed for men and women skiers aged 55 and older who would describe themselves as capable skiers on green/blue runs and want to improve their technique. It’s a great opportunity to learn the latest skills while having a great time.
- Gala Evening banquet at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler . Conde Naste Traveler recently voted the Fairmont Chateau one of the top 20 resorts in Canada.
