The Skiers' Guide to Whistler Blackcomb

It’s an amazing resort! So much fun, so much terrain. It sometimes gets too warm in winter due to proximity to the ocean but still fun regardless. Downside is it’s a very expensive town but beautiful.

Snow is hard packed. Temperatures are rising and visibility wasn't great. Hopefully they get a storm or two before the end of season.

The peak chair is a must on a powder day! Also be sure to hit up spankys ladder for a long carvy run out it is worth the hike.

Beautiful resort. Pricey but well worth the visit. Aprez ski pubs/were great! The hotel was a hike to the gondola but shuttle was available. Snow was fair, but not the best winter in Canada.

Great resort with lots of varied runs to choose from. Top tier ski school and brilliant lift efficiency. Good apres ski, especially Merlin’s. Lots of food options on and off the mountains.

I have done 3 winter seasons now in whistler and it’s just beautiful! A trip to Whistler Black-comb isn’t just about the skiing, it’s about the full experience; the bars, the food, the people! People may complain about the inconsistency of the snow, but people have to remember that’s not the resorts fault! The mountain itself if one of the biggest resorts, and provides an exceptional array of terrain. No matter what skill level you are, there are runs for you! They also have extensive teaching programs and a full learning bunny hill on both mountains to ensure beginner safety. I highly recommend Whistler as a top winter destination, and recommend seasonal work here too!!!

Whistler Blackcomb is the ULTIMATE snow playground. With more runs to ski than you can count over TWO mountains it’s the best place to go in North America. Have been many times and always keen to go back it’s that’s good. Blue bird days or white out flurries it’s always a fun time on the slopes. Would recommend for anyone of any level a MUST.

Absolutely incredible experience, ruins any run in Eastern Canada becaus you will always think back to how incredible Whistler - Blackcomb was!

January 2026 synopsis.
Heavy rains to the peaks then froze with sun and icy conditions for the next 12 days. Now raining to mid station and snowing in the alpine but all high alpine lifts are closed due to 120 km winds today Jan 30. Climate change is real. Winters are unpredictable. Vail should sell Whistler back to a Canadian eh!

I loved my experience the resort was beautiful. The mountain was insane. The lessons I took were very helpful.

A great time, pretty expensive but you can definitely do it cheaper if you’re conscious of your spending. Apres ski at longhorn is great. Mountain is well maintained and has some great moguls especially when there’s fresh powder.

The Mountain is beautiful. With blue skies the off piste sections ar limitless and a great place to advance skill without going out of bounds. On a quiet day it is magical. But you can equally get days where you're queuing in a lift for 40 mins and it stops every 5. No apres on the slopes which is a shame all the apres is in the village which is so expensive. But the atmosphere feels like you're in Disney land.

I really loved how big the mountain was it was truly insane. The views while skiing were also amazing. Some of the runs at whistler took an hour to get down.

Spent 2 seasons here, great fun, would recommend. Expensive if not here for a season. Lots of terrain but variable snow conditions

Review of Whistler Blackcomb

Absolutely beautiful experience. We were there over Christmas and the village truly sparkled — it felt magical. We were lucky to catch a big dump of snow, which made for fantastic ski conditions, especially considering it was still early in the season. There was a great variety of runs to choose from, making it fun for different skill levels. Between the scenery, the festive village, and the solid snow, it was an unforgettable trip. Would 100% go back. ❄️⛷️

My all time favorite for everything ski vibes from hills to après to village and hotels, in Canada. Look forward to my yearly trip.

I love whistler blackcomb, I am here doing my first ski season. Everything is walking distance, the workers around the resort are so lovely, the bars, restaurants etc are somewhat affordable. The mountain is nice, slopes are groomed and the lifts are very easy to do as a beginner snowboarder.

The ultimate ski resort, the piste area is so large, there are so many routes to explore that you can always find a quiet run. Really well maintained and very efficient. Plenty of food options on and off piste and lots of non ski activities for families who are not on the slopes.

Such an amazing place to visit and ski. The runs are fantastic. Being from Ontario where the best place to ski is probably blue mountain going to Whistler is such a treat!!

The number one resort in the world and you couldn’t convince me otherwise. Simple as that. Amazing amount of ski terrain, parks, off piste, and much more. Literally everything you could dream of in one place!
