Ski at Whistler Blackcomb
Length -
Whistler Blackcomb
Whistler Blackcomb is considered one of North America’s premier mountain resorts—for good reason. A short, scenic 125-kilometre (78-mile) drive from Vancouver, this resort offers exceptional hospitality, a diverse cultural scene, and dramatic scenery. Two mountains, connected by the record-breaking PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, offer more than 200 marked runs, 16 alpine bowls, and three glaciers. Epic skiing, combined with a glamorous après scene and endless off-mountain activities, make this an unforgettable ski vacation.

- Feb 20, 2019: “This place is awesome to learn and then enjoy once you get better at skiing or snowboarding. We learned in different slopes and as our confidence increased we did the more challenging slopes. Coming from NZ the size of the place is huge and you can get to ski for hours.” 0
- Feb 19, 2019: “3 skiers (incl. kidsx2) and 1 snowboarder. In comparison to local Vancouver mountains: Pros - Gondola is definitely a plus with the kids...warm, dry, no difficulty getting on and off like lifts. Kids said they prefer Whistler. Lots of runs to choose from. Great snow conditions. All the staff were very friendly. Recommend - Steeps Bar and Grill with reservation because they seem to be very busy. Cons - line-ups at customer service, lifts/gondolas. Really should have a app showing wait times to assist in balancing out the line-ups. Roundhouse Lodge around 11-2 is a zoo. Not a table or chair free in sight! No night skiing. More planning involved - runs, where to eat, when to eat... Some restaurants only have outdoor seating. Parking can be an issue too.” 1
- Feb 19, 2019: “I can completely understand how Whistler/Vancouver was chosen as a 2010 Winter Olympic venue. The people are friendly and courteous, the mountain is amazing, and the restaurants/shops are among the best in the world!” 2
