Whistler is a resort municipality in the southern Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. Approximately 125 km (78 mi) north of Vancouver and 36 km (22 mi) south of Pemberton, it is incorporated as the Resort Municipality of Whistler. It has a permanent population of approximately 11,854, as well as a larger but rotating population of seasonal workers.
