That’s right - Hollywood is coming to Whistler once again. You may recall years back when Ski School or Hot Dog was filmed on the slopes of Whistler Mountain? Well, if you’re staying in Whistler this summer in one of the many owner direct accommodations, or Whistler hotels, you may spot the filming of the new tv series called “Whistler”.

Set in the ice cold slopes of the ski resort in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada Whistler is a fast-pased drama/thriller about the strange accidental death of professional snowboarder Beck MacKaye (David Paetkau, LAX, Final Destination 2 ). Beck MacKaye is just returning from the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy, in which he wins a gold medal. Friends and family are shocked about the mysterious death of MacKaye because of the experience that he had on the slopes.

The timing of this coincides with the Whistler 2010 Olympics coming to Whistler and Vancouver - well, the plot line carries some similarities. And if you’re visiting Whistler and renting one of the luxury accommodations in Whistler, you find it a little extra busy with the filming in town.

With the filming of this new tv production, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the accommodations in Whistler to be harder to find the ideal location to stay. Likely the production team is staying in hotels, or nearby Squamish, leaving more inventories available for owner direct rental accommodations.

The Whistler tv series has the secret-keeping locals are the only ones who can answer the terrifying truth of, “what secrets lie beneath the snow?” Even MacKaye’s friends and family all have their share of dirty laundry and juicy secrets to try to hide.
Beck’s brother, Quinn (Jesse Moss, Ginger Snaps) must try to solve the mystery of Beck’s death. He will find out the truth, which might be more than he can handle of the biggest secret in Whistler.

Some of you may have already seend the show filming when it started to film in the winter season up in Whistler last November. So if you were hitting the slopes and staying in one of the ski in / ski out accommodations and cottages on Whistler and Blackcomb mountain, you may have witnessed the filming of this new series. Check it out - maybe you’re in it
