Among the best of all North American ski resorts is Whistler Blackcomb. This ski area is unrivalled in world-class powder skiing slopes, scenery and activities across its extensive terrain.
Whistler and Blackcomb are two mountains that sit side-by-side, joined together by the Peak2Peak Gondola that spans the entire distance in between. Choose to take this ski lift to enjoy the panoramic views of the sweeping forest across the coast, staggering landscapes and the ancient glaciers. This mountain gondola ride is the highest and longest in the world, perfect for taking in the Canadian scenery, so don’t forget to book your lift passes.
The two mountains are in a constant battle of playful rivalry. Their ongoing tug-of-war for best resort has resulted in both becoming world-class skiing and snowboarding spots, perfect for visitors of all experience levels. Whistler Blackcomb offers award-winning services and activities across the impressive 8,171 acres of diverse terrain. If you’re a beginner with minimal experience, you can take to the lower slopes of the Blackcomb Mountain. For the intermediates with growing expertise, take to the middle slopes of Whistler. Of course, expert skiers and advanced skiers as well as snowboarders are welcome to descend the off-piste slopes for a more daring experience.
This family friendly Canadian destination is perfect for a winter getaway. Brimming with activities for all kinds of fun, choose to take your loved ones for a holiday filled with family fun. To unwind after a day of thrilling adventure, take a calming stroll to see the Whistler Village life, or head to the après-ski for some evening fun and dining. If you still haven’t satisfied your exciting reverie, engage in some more winter sports including zip lining or bobsleighing.
