Whistler Blackcomb

World-renowned Whistler Blackcomb is one of the top ski resorts in North America. Cross-country skiing trails are easily accessed from the resort. In fact, just a five-minute walk from Whistler Village is Lost Lake Park, which offers over 32 km (20 mi) of forested, track-set trails, many of which lead to views of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. Lost Lake trails have gentle slopes for beginners as well as challenging runs for advanced skiers. The 4 km (2.5 mi) trail around the small alpine lake itself is lit for night skiing. Head to the Cross Country Connection for trail passes, rentals and lessons.
