Ski at Whistler Blackcomb

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.

- Jun 12, 2019: “The Gondolas up and down the Mountains are quite spectacular but the cross mountain Gondola is quite out of this world. The 360 degrees vistas continuously took our breath away Make sure you go up Whistler and down Blackcomb and you can do as many crossovers as you like. And we saw a Mumma bear and it’s cub on the way down” 0
- Jun 11, 2019: “I’m a teacher, and I take my vacation time very seriously! We decided to ditch the beach and head to the mountains. I’m not an experienced skier, so I took 3 days of lessons, and it was well worth it! The ski instructors were great (I found one that was awesome and joined her group again the next day). It was a blast, and I leaned so much! My boyfriend snowboarded all over the resort and he had a great time. The ski village was bustling as well. Can’t wait to come back to Whistler! ” 1
