Whistler Village was nestled at the base of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. In the town was all the restaurants and shopping. On our first day, we spent the morning walking around and shopping. It was such a cute little town!
This is one of my favorite pictures with the Olympic rings and mountain in the background!
At Olympic Plaza, they had all the rings and all the other Olympic symbols
The cute guy is an inukshuk. An inukshuk is a Inuit symbol which means "in the likeness of human." Traditionally it's meaning is that "someone was here", or "you are on the right path." It was the symbol of the Vancouver Olympic games in 2010, to symbolize friendship and welcoming.
This is the paraolympic symbol.
There was much Native American influence every where, including totem poles, inukshuk, and signs in their language.
Standing in front of the rings
This is the cute little gazebo in the center of the village
On either side of the walking path were stores and restaurants, and above there was lodging
When people take their lunch break, they just set their equipment in racks in front of the restaurant they are eating in. This one was right at the bottom on Whistler Mountain and a popular spot to go
When you get to the bottom of the hill, you are right in Whistler Village!
It's the place (only place really) to be night or day in Whistler!
