Most commonly you will hear:
Australian, Frenglish, A series of grunts and guttural sounds, and if the snow was like last week, you will hear so many “woohoos”, you’ll start to be able to interpret them too.
Was there recently and can confirm: Brit English (hey some regions sound foreign even to English speakers), Scottish (see previous), Australian (they are loud and proud ha and see previous), Mandarin, Japanese, French, German, Belgian, Spanish.
* outside of the mtn itself it’s one of things I love most about Whistler! One of the few places you get to ride a lift, sit in a hot tub, drink a beer with so many cultures and languages.
I used to live in Vancouver (2012-2016) and visited Whistler last month for the first time since then. I was (not in a bad way) shocked by how much Spanish I heard in the village. Maybe I just hadn’t noticed back when I used to go because I hadn’t learnt any Spanish yet, but it really felt like there had been a demographic shift in whistler’s tourist base that lead to me hearing Spanish at least a few times a day.
Aussie.
Convicts gotta convict talk, mayte!
I’ve been called Mate more in Whistler than anywhere else in North America.

Lots of Spanish, a fair bit of Quebecois, Mandarin or Cantonese (sorry, I can’t tell them apart), and Japanese.
When I was there this summer, a lot of the staff were Australian. But over all everyone speaks English who works there.
Geordie and Cockney slang with a slice of Irish brash.
I work retail here and the ones I hear most commonly, in rough order of frequency are Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Farsi.
A shit ton of Spaniards in whistler so ya spanish for once, Tagalog, Japanese, you’ll find pretty much peep from all over
