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.

There's nothing quite like Whistler in North America. Comprehensive, family friendly, a little soenthing for everyone. Amazing on and off-piste, it's a destination for a reason.

Its a great resort with lots of hotels and accommodation options, however they are not cheap. Accommodation for seasonaires is almost impossible, so make sure your work provides it. Bars and restaurants are also good, but can be expensive and you have to tip otherwise they are suggesting you will not get served again. Village is a great size with shops available for last minute purchases. Also not too far from Vancouver if need to get the bus there are options to get there.

Whistler was amazing. The powder after a snow is unreal!! There are plenty of family-friendly runs as well as fun/challenging double blacks for experts. I loved that it was also included in Epic Pass. I would 100% come back.

Whistler Blackcomb is honestly amazing. It is also quite expensive but you do get an expansive terrain for any ski level, great ski instructors and good food options in the village. If you are coming on the weekend, though, be ready to stay in lines for the lift. Or you could be an early-bird and be there before the open time. ;) on snowy days it's absolutely worth it. Whistler is also nice for families. I've spent endless hours going from a playground to the library and to the skating rink with my kid while husband was snowboarding. Next day we just change the roles. Food on the mountain is quite mediocre to taste and definitely overpriced. So, I always pack my own snacks for the day. As for food in the village, there're plenty of options. Some are amazing some are standard.

Whistler is the place to go where everyone in your party can feel like they had the best trip of their life. The mountain itself is incredible, I feel like I didnt even accomplish half the mountain its so big! The adorable town has so many cute shops and delicious restaurants you could spend weeks there. And finally the apres ski is the best Ive ever experienced.

I did my Ski season in Whistler and I absolutely loved it. There are masses of amounts of terrain, available for both skiers and snowboarders at all levels. Ski lifts were run really well and there were plenty of places to eat and drink on the mountain.

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.
