British Columbia ski-and-mountain-biking village 90 minutes north of Vancouver via the Sea-to-Sky Highway. Year-round destination: Blackcomb and Whistler peaks for skiing (Nov–May) and the world's most built-out lift-served bike park (May–Oct). Whistler Village proper is the walkable core; Function Junction and Creekside are the lower-cost residential alternatives. Wi-Fi is reliable; coworking is thin (the resort culture isn't built around remote work) but improving. Canada has no formal DNV but standard 180-day visa-free entry covers most Western passports; longer stays require a work permit or PR pathway.
