Whistler Blackcomb

About Whistler

Canadian mountain resort Whistler Blackcomb is located in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, just 125 kilometres north of Vancouver. Not only has this destination been named SKI Magazine’s No. 1 resort in North America for the fourth time in 5 years but Whistler Blackcomb was also the official alpine skiing venue for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The largest ski resort in North America with over 8,171 acres and one of the snowiest with 38.2 feet of powder annually. With its dual mountain offering connecting by the marvellous Peak2Peak Gondola, Whistler Blackcomb is a true skier and snowboarder’s dream come true.  The huge, wide-open, and varied terrain of these mountains is ideal for skiers of all levels including families, children and those who are new to the sport.
 

Top 5 Reasons to Ski Whistler Blackcomb

  • Most terrain: 8,171 acres (3,037 hectares) of skiable terrain - the most in North America
  • Longest season: North America's longest ski season runs from November through July
  • Lots of lifts: 37 lifts including advanced high-speed systems and the new PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, the longest unsupported span (3.3km) for a lift of this kind in the world, connecting the two mountains of Whistler and Blackcomb
  • Ski to the village: Whistler Blackcomb's runs reach right to the edges of Whistler's pedestrian village
  • Winter playground: Abundant snow (on average 38.4 feet annually) and countless winter activities both on and off the slopes
 

Where is Whistler?

Whistler is in British Columbia, Canada just 2 hours from Vancouver. It's very easy to access with just one flight required from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, directly to Vancouver from where you can take a frequent and comfortable shuttle to your accommodation in Whistler. Nearby resorts include Sun Peaks and Big White.

Whistler Accommodation & Activities

After a day on the slopes the fun does not have to end because the resort offers a multitude of excellent restaurants, bars and of course excellent nightlife. A wide range of accommodation is available throughout the Whistler area, with three distinct base villages, namely Whistler, Blackcomb and Creekside. Most accommodation (as well as shops, restaurants and nightlife) can be found in Whistler Village including hotels such as Crystal Lodge, The Hilton Whistler Resort and Spa and the Whistler Peak Lodge. Blackcomb offers excellent ski in ski out access and Creekside is great for families wanting a quieter location with easy access to the lifts! Whistler is located just 2 hours from Vancouver, a major international gateway and a popular destination for a stopover on the way.

Canada ski trip

February 28, 2024

Hi Melissa,

Thank you so much for all your help booking our ski trip to Canada in 2024, it was an incredible experience! Your knowledge of the ski resorts, choice of hotels and complete package was excellent and made the whole process super easy.

We had one week in Sun Peaks and one week at Whistler.

Sun Peaks was amazing with ski-in ski-out, lots of terrain options, and the lift lines were virtually non-existent. I’d definitely go back to Sun Peaks.

Whistler is such a big mountain, and we were lucky enough to get fresh snow Monday morning but lift lines were so long (20+ minute wait). The rest of the week was blue sky and less people but less terrain to ski as the off-piste was all skied out. Really enjoyed Blackcomb mountain as there are more groomed runs (when you can’t go off-piste) with way less people.

The only negative experience was our flight to Kamloops with Westjet. Cancelled flight, lost bags, delays!

I would highly recommend using Ski Travel Company for a ski holiday.

Thank You - Whistler Peak Lodge family holiday

September 17, 2018

Melissa

Just quick note to say Whistler Peak Lodge was great. Clean, not particularly noisy (It’s a busy party resort after all) and very well located. It is obviously 3* accomodation, I guess built in the 90’s but our room bathroom had been refurbed since then. The general decor was a little tired outside the room, the lifts a bit old, but they had touch card access to doors and lifts, and a spa which was great.

They gave us early access to the room and were very helpful.

We had a great time, decent snow given the late date and everything, from flights to resort connections ran to plan. Great job to your team, thanks. (I’m still battling the bank about my Visa rip off, which I think I’ll lose, but I’m a bit wiser on that score now).

We’d use you guys again and we’d definately go to Whistler again.

Thanks for your help

Ian
