VANCOUVER, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ - Readers of the 2010 Sports Illustrated (SI) Swimsuit Issue (www.si.com/swimsuit) will be forgiven for paying less attention to the location featured in the photo spread ...but it certainly proves one thing for sure: Whistler, British Columbia is a gorgeous and exotic travel destination.

Showcasing members of the U.S. Women's Ski Team, this year's issue features the athletes heating up the slopes in Whistler - Host Mountain Resort for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

SI Swimsuit is the most successful franchise in publishing history. Last year the combined print and digital audience reached more than 67 million people, offering unbeatable exposure to showcase Canada to potential travellers. A sports angle, paired with stunning settings, a huge audience, and a particular appeal to Americans, means the reach of this issue for British Columbia and Canada is, well, immense.

"Shooting the Lindsey, Hannah, Gretchen and Claire feature in Canada was a dream as the beauty of Whistler was a perfect backdrop and made every shot spectacular. The majesty of the mountains, the glacier lakes and the clearest blue sky in the world made Whistler one of the best locations I have ever experienced," Diane Smith, SI Swimsuit Senior Editor.

Whistler's role in hosting the 2010 Winter Games ignited the idea for the photo shoot which was supported by Tourism Whistler, Tourism British Columbia, Whistler Blackcomb and The Fairmont Chateau Whistler.

Americans and SI readers from around the globe inspired by the photos and wishing to book a trip to experience Whistler first hand in 2010 can enjoy a two-day, three-night getaway in March starting from only $345 CDN per person. More details at www.whistler.com or call 1.800.WHISTLER.
