Whistler Blackcomb Reviews & Ratings

This ski resort was great the slopes were covered and quiet. The people were also nice easy to have a conversation with.

Have been traveling to whistler for years from the UK. Been to other numerous resorts in Europe but Whistler comes out every time. The village and terrain. With back country options are second to none. Both my children have learnt to ski through the ski school and have developed a love and passion for the sport due to excellent ski camps everyday finishing with a big grin and chocolate chip cookie. They started on skis at 3 and havent looked back. I would recommend whistler to anyone no matter what you want from a ski holiday

Greats terrains with plenty of options available for all levels. Great atmosphere with great food & entertainment. A must place to visit on your bucket list with deep pockets.

Let me just start off by saying that I've been to quite a few ski resorts in British Columbia and Whistler, hands down is my go to. It never disappoints. The options for accommodations is fairly extensive. If you can find a 2 bedroom condo with full kitchen amenities and gas barbecue, it tends to be a great value proposition. The number of pubs, bars, restaurants and nightlife spots is pretty extensive as well. No lack of choice. The available terrain to ski on both mountains is pretty incredible. It's almost impossible to ski everything in one trip. Everyone has their favorite mountain and areas to ski, mine just happens to be Blackcomb over in the Crystal Ridge area. I do have to say though, once upon a time, the cost to stay and ski was fairly reasonable. Ever since the takeover by Vail resorts and of course, post-COVID price hikes, the cost has increased substantially over the last 5 years. The only piece of advice I would offer is to make sure you price out the cost of everything, including your lift passes.... they are expensive.

Whistler Blackcomb is a beast. It's the biggest resort I've ever skied. I've been skiing this resort for most of my life. The terrain is very diverse and you can find a bit of everything. It's a very busy mountain so be ready for some long lift lines. IT's also on the more expensive side. This mountain is definitely worth experiencing at least once.

Great pow day last weekend. No visibility so tough if you dont know the mountain but kept the masses off the expert runs.

Blackcomb is definitely better for snowboarding than Whistler. Amazing snow on all the runs. Bring you wallet, it's not cheap.

Whistler is an incredible ski resort from the 2 mountains to the wonderful restaurant choices. The locals and guest are friendly and courteous and slopes are easy to get to.

Very nice probably better for more experienced skiers and not great for apres but gorgeous views friendly people. Is quite expensive.

A really big mountain to explore terrain from beginner to expert, on piste to off piste into the trees, lots of bowl skiing and a few couloirs to go into. Views are fabulous when sunny but when the low level clouds roll in it can be challenging to even go down the piste trails in the high alpine, when theres deep powder youll be in heaven. If you havent been it will be worth the visit.

Not very much value that Vail offers especially when youre paying so much for a day when conditions are not favourable. Would love to see more options for tasty food at the top of the mountain

Great setting, different to European ski resorts. Everything is at the bottom of the hill in the resort, very few buildings up on the mountain so it's quite wild and unspoilt. The lift pass system is great too if you pay for 10 days and take a day off you don't lose the day. The pass check in at the bottom was great too with no need to mess around with passes higher up. Highly recommended.

Excellent ski resort with so many options its almost paralyzing. Only problems are the high costs of everything as well as the large amounts of people making lines for just about anything pretty long. Other than that near perfect resort especially on days with good conditions, which are quite often in the area!

It's big and its beautiful, but and on weekends and holidays extremely busy. If you don't one of Vail's passes it's going to be incredibly expensive.

I really appreciated my time in Whistler/Blackcomb . Both mountain are amazing , food is good with reasonable price , people are welcoming , the shuttle system is very efficient to move around the area ,both teacher from Extremely Canadian during my 2 days snowboard class were professional and resourceful. For the gondola and ski lift they were working pretty well and not too fast to get in if you are a begginner but quick enought to bring you where you want to go. I didn't expérience the powder unfortunately but gooming is great on both mountain . I would recommend for anyone who want a huge and diverse environment for skiing/snowboarding!!

Efficient lift system. Huge variety of runs to suit all skills. Vast area with quiet runs and almost untouched snow late in day. Big choice of accommodation and high quality restaurants. Lots of nice walks if not skiing.

Great terrain and fun bowls after fresh snowfall. Fun après in the village. Expensive accommodation and trip overall but everything you need is in the village.

I used to live in Whistler, when it was owned by a Canadian company. All the terrain is still there I used to ski, and a few new high peed quad chairs have been added, which is nice because of the volume they receive. Now, this is not an anti American rant, but since the resort has been bought by Vail properties, they have gone in the direction of higher prices, not just for lift passes, but apres ( the Longhorn pub, once a locals favourite, now a private members lounge )and dining. I know that locals ( lower mainland BC Canada ), are no longer their primary market, but wealthy American and international markets.
The idea, is to price out, the locals.
Still an incredibly beautiful place in world for skiing and just the mountain experience, I would just rather spend my money in the interior of the province now, Silver Star, Big White, and Apex. I hope this helps, you can reach out to me for any other questions you might have.
