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.

The off-piste and tree runs are better than anything I’ve experienced at the tips resorts in Europe. Expensive trip but once you’re there, you get more for your money than the top French resorts. All around a must-do trip for me.

Great two hills accommodating for beginners and up to expert skiers. World class facility and staff, with the convenient gondola for access to essentially two mountains with different vibes.

Lots of slopes, big terrain park and big jumps. Lots of lifts and less queues than in other Canadian ski resorts. Lift tickets are expensive 250$ a day. I can recommend to buy it in the pre season sale, it's 40% off the regular price. From all the Canadian resorts I've been on the west coast whistler is the closest to European standards. Food and Beer in the mountain are expensive. 1 hot wine 12$ and a beer 13$. Overall still a good resort. Lots of terrain on a powder day

Skied Whistler Blackcomb since the 89s, had my 30 birthday there. There are great runs for all levels and the great Franzis run top to bottom, tried but haven't managed to do this on one run without stopping, love Hofs but, great place to grab a beer. Nightlife and dining options are excellent including the international dining area halfway up.
I usually rent a ski in/out condo on Blackcomb side. Best lift system including the gondolas, great addition years ago to have lift going to whistler and blackcomb. Highly recommended. One of the first resorts to valet parking your skis at Fairmont.

Loved the amount of skiable terrain and the vertical drop.
Hated the fog/clouds impairing the viewing and the wet, heavy snow.

From the utmost beginner to the extremely advanced runs, Whistler Blackcomb boasts an incredible array of terrain for all skill levels. Gorgeous surrounding scenery in the heart of British Columbia provides stunning views from pretty much any run you decide to take down the mountain.

Went there last year for the first time. Absolutely loved the town there. It was so cute and tons of fun apres ski, shopping, great food from low to high end. The skiing in general has gorgeous views and was pretty powdery. Overall, would definitely come back to Whistler!

Such an amazing resort, with so much choice of terrain, something for everyone at all levels, and even the non-skiers. The ski school is pricey but excellent. Good choice of restaurants and apres ski. Great choice of accommodation with three separate locations to choose from, all with good lifts. What's not to like?!

Whistler is great! A bit expensive but overall a great ski resort! The town of whistler is amazing, full of character and has a good variety of ski shops and restaurants. Go early to avoid lines! Christmas time can be very busy as well, so best to not go during that time of the year.

This trip was 5 years in the making. CoVid prolonged our chance to finally get to Whistler. The dual mountain setup is unique ... like 2 volcano's side by side. Getting from one "set" of runs to the next was pretty easy. As a boarder, that's important. Snow conditions were, acceptable, as we learned of the moisture that Vancouver snow picks up from the coast line. Most of the upper surfaces of the mountains were "crusted over" ( read: ice) ... not the best fun for a boarder, but we did check them out. We had powder on day 4 and 5 ... accompanied by some fog (which was no fun). All and all, our trip was pretty good and will definitely go into our roatation of resorts we visit.

Whistler blackcomb offers a whole ton to explore. The daily rates have really become steep. I wouldn't say it's worth it unless you invest in an edge card or pass.

The experience is really multiplied if you are with someone who knows the best spots.

Just spent a week at Whistler/Blackcomb. The skiing was great, lots of fresh snow, but it was cold (-16°C).
The two hills have a huge variety of slopes and challenges - something for everyone.
The lodges on the hill were crowded (maybe because it was cold) and the food mediocre.
But I keep going back because - the skiing!
