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.

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

Canada ski trip

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.

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
