The Perfect 2010 Gateway
Just minutes from most venues, Pemberton will be bursting with action and activity in 2010.
And Pemberton & district offers a wide range of outdoor adventure activities and family-friendly recreation for those moments when you’re not cheering on the world’s best.
Our location north of Whistler can provide easier road access to the games.

Transportation
Getting to Pemberton & district is simple, and by June 2009 the Sea to Sky Highway will have been upgraded by a massive, multi-million-dollar improvement project.
Currently, the highway is open and fully accessible with only the occasional short delay or pre-scheduled closure. Once the project is complete, the mountain highway will be straighter, have more passing lanes and enhanced monitoring for winter weather maintenance.
