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.

Whistler-Blackcomb is truly a world class ski/snowboard haven. The snow conditions are near perfect for most parts of the mountains. It does however get pretty busy during holidays. The other drawbacks is the cost of foods on the mountains. All in all, it’s always been a great experience skiing at Whistler-Blackcomb.

Whistle black comb lives up to its expectations. One of the largest ski resorts in North America, meaning there’s always something new you haven’t seen before.

Stay on the Whistler mountain side! It is soooo much quieter and you can find cheaper accommodations and parking there.

Great terrain, too many people. On its best day, one of the best in the world, on its worst, overpriced, wet and overcrowded. Gamblers pick.

Huge amounts of terrain, impossible to even scratch the surface in a day. The gondola between peak is stunning and the après has the best vibes and party goers. Not great value for a beginner but truly a world class resort.

Great resort but extremely busy. The tree skiing is great and the side country is great but it all gets skied out quick and the lift lines are so long

Best resort in North America hands down. Lots to learn from Europe and the Alps in terms of service, operations and food. Prices have been steadily getting insane for locals after the purchase of the resort by Vail. Skiing and terrain is excellent. However, again back to single day lift tickets. Just insane to pay $300 for a single day and increasing every year.

Great wide and long beginners slopes to let you get into it - empty slopes for spring skiing. Stoke us high on the mountain - happy and encouraging. Plenty of places for beer afterwards at lots of different price ranges. Value for money easy to find!

Great large resort and nice village atmosphere. Lots of varied options with different price tags. Big snow dumps often in March made for some very fun skiing! Long lift queues on powder days (unless the roads up from Vancouver are blocked)

I grew up going to Whistler and still love it though it has become incredibly expensive in recent years. Book far in advance as accommodation gets filled up really fast and prices shoot up. Snow has also not been as good in recent years but if you are in the alpine it is not too bad. Enjoy it while it lasts :')

Whistler can be busy, but has more Green runs. Make use of both mountains and llan you day. Food is amazing with loads of options and the actual town is busy and full of life.

Super packed and busy. Worth it to buy First Tracks tickets for weekdays non holiday time. Don’t even bother on long weekends if you can help it - the queues can be over an hour!

Going to whistler feels like being spoiled. The range of runs, the space, it’s incredible. Show up on a blue bird day and you’ll feel like the luckiest person on earth. It’s incredibly expensive, it’s very busy on weekends and the lines get long, but you can spread out quite easily and there’s a lot of space to explore.

Great variety of terrain and slack country. Conditions can be variable, but when it snows the powder is great. The lift lines and crowds on the slopes are a real negative, runs can get skied out quickly. It can be quite overpriced.

Oh, it was a great experience! I actually was proposed to on the mountain. Blackcomb in my opinion was better than Whistler Mountain.

Sking is typically great at whistler with the exception of a few off weeks with bad conditions.

If you are to visit during a week with good conditions it will be the trip of a lifetime.

Incredible variety of terrain with amazing glades and large quiet open runs.

Good lift service across the mountain and good rest stops and amenities. Good quality of snow and nice weather throughout the season.
