The Ski Resort

Whistler Blackcomb is a haven for winter sports enthusiasts and is the largest ski resort in Canada, nestled in British Columbia’s Coast Mountains. It boasts over 8,100 acres of skiable terrain catering to all levels of ski experience, and winter sports beyond just skiing and snowboarding. Beyond the slopes, Whistler Village is a pedestrian-only hub brimming with life, making it a destination in its own right. The design has winding pathways leading to multiple shops and restaurants, inviting its visitors to explore. With casual cafés, upscale restaurants, bars, lounges and shopping opportunities, Whistler Blackcomb has something for every budget.

The Ski Slopes

Whistler Blackcomb is a paradise for snow enthusiasts, with an impressive array of ski runs and terrain parks. With more than 200 marked runs, 16 alpine bowls, and three glaciers, there's something for everyone.

For a warm-up or leisurely descent, Blue Line on Whistler Mountain is an excellent choice. This intermediate run gives you stunning panoramic views of the valley, making it both a visual and skiing delight. More advanced skiers can make their way to the double-black Saudan Couloir on Blackcomb. Situated on steep pitches between cliff bands, it’s one of the most demanding and exhilarating runs in the area, but truly rewarding for those who ride it. Another must-try is Peak to Creek, one of the country's longest runs. Starting from Whistler Peak, this 11 km trail descends nearly 5,000 feet to Creekside, across varied terrain that keeps the journey engaging from start to finish. Freestyle enthusiasts will find a playground of features suitable for all levels in Whistler Blackcomb's terrain parks. The resort boasts six first-class Nintendo Terrain Parks, packed with endless tables, hips, and rails. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, there's a spot for you to hone your skills and catch some air.

An iconic feature of the resort is the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, which connects Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. This engineering marvel holds the world record for the longest and highest lift, spanning over 2.5 miles and reaching heights of 1,430 feet.

Après Ski

Whistler Blackcomb's après-ski scene offers a variety of venues to unwind after a day on the slopes. At the base of Whistler Mountain, the Garibaldi Lift Co. (GLC) provides a sophisticated lounge atmosphere, making it a popular spot for groups seeking a relaxed environment. Over in Creekside, Dusty's Bar & BBQ stands as the resort's original après-ski bar, offering classic mountain vibes, hearty BBQ dishes, and live performances from local entertainers. At the base of Blackcomb Mountain, Merlin's Bar & Grill captures the essence of a Canadian slopeside cabin. Guests can enjoy a cold Kokanee beer while experiencing live shows from the Hairfarmers, who've been delivering top-notch après-ski entertainment for over 25 years. For those seeking a lively party atmosphere, the Longhorn Saloon is known for its energetic après-ski scene, featuring DJs, dancing, and a vibrant crowd.
