Commercial Filming in Whistler

Production crews must notify the RMOW if you are filming on private property within the Resort Municipality of Whistler's municipal boundaries.

For approved filming in Whistler Village, several locations are available along a unique, pedestrian village including Village North and Upper Village, are the jurisdiction of the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW). The area in front of the Village gondolas (Skiers Plaza) is the jurisdiction of Whistler Blackcomb. There are power outlets in Village Square, Town Plaza and Village Common. Vehicle access is limited.

Pedestrian malls cannot be closed to public access during production and storefront access should remain clear. The municipality asks productions to notify retailers and restaurants in the locations in which they wish to film.

If the location is in a Whistler subdivision, the municipality requires location managers to notify the residents in the affected areas.

The RMOW manages the Whistler Interpretive Forest, located 10 kilometers south of the village across from Function Junction. This 3,000-hectare demonstration forest is a favourite with many production companies, featuring forested trails, the Cheakamus River gorge and suspension bridge (foot and bicycle only), kayak put in/pull out, House Rock, numerous hiking, biking, and snowshoeing trails and vehicle access.
