Whistler Guides From BC Locals

Hi! We're Alia & Shawn.
Whistler is where I fell in love with BC. Over ten years ago now, I spent a summer working as a server in the village and spending the rest of my time in the bike park and on the trails. Ever since then, I’ve been obsessed with BC. Whistler was our go-to vacation spot for years since we were living in Vancouver without a car. And now that we’re based in Squamish, we make it up there every chance we get.
