What Skiers Say About Whistler Blackcomb

Whistler Blackcomb attracts skiers and snowboarders across all ability levels, from beginners to experts. Reviewers consistently praise the massive skiable terrain across two mountains, the variety of runs including off-piste and tree skiing, and the efficient lift system connecting Whistler and Blackcomb via the Peak 2 Peak Gondola. Snow conditions are frequently mentioned as variable, with several users noting rain at lower elevations, icy patches, and inconsistent coverage depending on the season. The resort is repeatedly described as expensive, with high costs for lift tickets, accommodation, food, and dining both on and off the mountain. Lift queues, particularly on weekends and peak times, are a common complaint, with waits of 20-40 minutes reported at busy periods.

They've done a great job this spring grooming the little now that we got! If you want the locals' acres experience, go to Creekside gondola to Dusty's!

Alpine skiing in late April was unbelievably good this year. Made for an unforgettable trip with my son for his first experience at Whistler Blackcomb.

April is my favorite time to visit Whistler/Blackcomb - there is still plenty of snow (8 inches of new during my trip), shorter lift lines, long runs for all abilities and the village is less crowded.

Ski conditions were very bad, and most of the accommodation is far from the slopes. However, the curly fries in Merlin’s really made up for it!

Weekdays are best! If driving up during the weekend, you’ll want to be in Squamish by 7AM.

Snow school is great deal when doing the 3 Day.

Great trip, massive terrain on two mountains, very busy and expensive though. Efficient lift lines, however due to business there was still a wait. Epic views and off piste runs in the alpine terrain!

I love the long runs. You can take 3 chairs up and ride that whole run down. There is so much selection and even on busy days, it isn’t too crowded. Been shining here for over 20 years and love it!

Super sick resort with any terrain you could imagine. A little expensive but every serious skier or snowboarder needs to spend at least one day here.

For the price of a lift ticket, cost of parking and apres ski good and drink Vail resorts that owns and operates Whistler-Blackcomb fleeces you. They want the Hollywood types high expense prostitutes to show up and pay the extortionist prices that is nowhere close to the original grassroots of the two mountains. Raising the price of loyalty cards/passes, like an edge card, exert year and then also increasing everything else in price squeezes the honest business owner in town along with the local skiers from the town and greater Vancouver area (locals). The skiing is great after the 10 to 30 minute wait at the lift seeing your equipment being mashed by others in que. Tough to find a peaceful spot on these hills.

We went back to Whistler for our 3rd time to ski late in the season - lucky we did, as we brought the SNOW with us. It hadn't been a great year on the West Coast of US + Canada, but 2 days before we arrived it dumped down, and continued 5 out of 10 nights we were there. And now, April, its still good skiing - yay.
Also loved our 6 hour Private Lesson, we shared between 3 of us, was so worth it, learned more in this lesson than every other one we have had in Australia, Japan + USA.
Gotta love the Snow Gods for playing ball!!
We will be back again in a few years, after we ski Europe, as that is next on our list.

The resort was awesome first time there, it had everything you needed and so close by. We stayed at the Fairmont Chateau what an amazing place. Rained on our first day but didn’t stop us going out. Food available was great also, great variety. Loved the Peak to peak Gondola. Just be wary of the signs for the runs, sometimes you think your on the blue and suddenly it’s not

Whistler is an amazing place for riding both inbounds and off piste terrain. Probably the largest in the world!

Fantastic choice for all in accommodation, food was amazing at most restaurants. Bars were brilliant!!
Groomed runs were brilliant too, though the grading is a touch 'down' from Europe. but choice of runs is phenomenal!
Definitely somewhere everyone should visit at least once if they can, well worth the flight duration from UK.
