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 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.

Jan 5, 2025: “Whistler is a ski resort with great potential hurt by bad operation and investment decisions. Disappointing closing time of the ski lifts. Who on Earth closes the ski resort at 3 pm? The chairlifts seats are covered with snow and ice and operators even not pretend they are cleaning them before you seat on them. Of course in the 21st century Vail has not heard that chairlifts must have a wind cover and heated seats. Probably I should advise to their senior management to take a ski vacation at one of the European ski resorts to see how the thing should be operated. Overpriced lift passes even at early season prices. You can only buy a single day pass for eye-watering price after mid December. No possibility to buy a several days ski pass after that date for the current season. Grooming of the slopes is far from perfect. Toilets on the mountain are not very clean. Limited food courts on the mountain are overcrowded with 0 seating places between 12 and 14 pm. Vail should seriously ask themselves why the mountain was half empty on the Christmas Holidays 2024???” 0

I will not be going back to whistler. They want $312 for a day pass! You want to make it a week. NO DISCOUNT! The place is run by crooks! Absolutely discusted!” 1
