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.

This was my go-to ski resort for many years before moving overseas. Great vibe, the Village right at the base of the runs, and a glacier to die for. What more could you want?

I am a big fan of Whistler Blackcomb, and have been visiting annually for a number of years. The resort is enormous, and its always possible to find uncrowded spacious runs. The resort staff are friendly and polite, and there are countless restaurants covering all cuisines. Its easy to reach by road from Vancouver, and there are many accommodation options suiting all budgets. Ive made many friends from my ski trips there. Canadians are so friendly!

I went to Whistler Blackcomb on a gorgeous sunny Friday and there was no wait times on most of the lifts except for ones which only had blue or greens off them. All the runs are very long compared to other ski resorts which is fantastic. There is a large variety of black diamond and the back country access is amazing!

Whistler Blackcomb (WB) is an amazing dual mountain resort located in the Coastal Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. Both mountains reach about 2440m and the skiable vertical drop is about 1500m. The longest run - Peak to Creek - is 11km long. WB offers a wide range of runs from long easy greens to expert double and triple black off-piste runs. There 21 distinct areas and over 200+ runs with numerous lifts and gondolas. The mid-mountain zones on the 2 mountains are connected by one of the world's longest gondolas (the Peak to Peak). The Peak to Peak allows you to switch mountains without having to ski down into the valley and climb back up again. There are 3 large main lodges on the mountains and 4 smaller huts that offer a wide variety of on-mountain food. The WB Ski School is world class and can help everyone from beginners to experts. In the valley, there is a wide variety of accommodation, restaurants and stores. In Whistler Village, the world famous Longhorn Saloon is known for its high energy apres ski scene.

Beautiful runs but the waits were extremely long for the lifts. Runs are long. A bit scary but very fun! Very well maintained. A green run in whistler feels more like a blue in Ontario, which makes it more challenging and fun. Tons of options for eating and drinking and apres ski. Tons of additional entertainment as well

Whistler is amazing resort and worth the money. It has amazing views something I had never experienced before this. It will cost some money and you will need spending money there too as it can be expensive but worth it for the experience.

Always have a blast at Whistler! Everything is well thought out and has a great apres scene. Love all the food and bar options in the village, could be a few more added on the mountain. The terrain options are amazing and really cater to all levels of skiing. Lift lines are long especially at the base but cant really think of a good place thats not!

Having an unreal trip in Whistler. The accommodations and free shuttle around the area are amazing and convenient. Not a whole lot of fresh show at the moment, but the groomers are rippin. Off piste could use a little more base coverage at this point, a little bare with lots of risk of hitting rocks or other obstacles. Some areas are crowded, especially easier terrain. But branching out to the smaller lifts helps avoid the crowds. Towards the end of the day when lifts start closing the lower mountain gets also too crowded. Apres is 10/10, an afternoon at longhorns saloon is the most fun way to end a ski day. Then an easy shuttle ride home.
