High Altitude Warning
The Whistler Conference Centre is not at a high altitude, however, if you decide to partake in mountain activities, you may experience symptoms associated with being in a higher altitude.  

High elevation, low humidity and stronger ultraviolet rays from the sun combine to create a situation that requires special attention to your health! For recommendations on how to prevent and alleviate high altitude sickness, please see High Country Health Care High Altitude Health Tips.
