The mountains surrounding Whistler, British Columbia have a majesty that is equaled by few places in the world. And from deep below their soaring peaks comes a water that no place in the world can match. A secret locked for a million years inside the impenetrable granite of the Coastal Mountain Range.
And nature’s secret it remained until it was unlocked by two local men. A pair who met by chance, and who in turn would have the good fortune to discover what many consider to be one of the purest sources of water in the world.
Years of searching led them to ancient trails, once used for gathering medicinal herbs by generations of earlier settlers. Climbing into the upper alpine, their quest brought them to the sweeping icefields of the Place Glacier. As they stood on the summit plateau, far beneath their feet, trickles of glacier water had already begun their slow journey through the purest of all filters—the mountain itself.
Following their instincts, they hiked down to what they believed was a promising site in the valley below. At 7 am on a July morning in 1993, their intuition was rewarded as a vast underground aquifer burst forth. Whistler Water was born.
