Why ski Whistler Blackcomb?

Whistler Blackcomb defies hyperbole — it genuinely is that good. Two distinct mountains (Whistler and Blackcomb) with a combined 8,171 acres of skiable terrain, a vertical of 1,609m (one of the longest in North America), and a vibrant village at the base. The Peak 2 Peak gondola connecting the two mountains at 436m above the valley floor is an engineering marvel and a spectacular ride. The resort works for every ability level.

// Insider Knowledge

Buy your lift tickets well in advance online — walk-up prices at the window are significantly higher. The best powder days hit the Blackcomb side first; head to Spanky's Ladder early and ski the glacier bowls before they get tracked out.
