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.

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.

they should really work on their park but operations are generally good and the quality of riding just really depends on the weather

Beautiful mountain, wonderful staff, smoothly run, so many fun runs! So many runs you never hit the base. Great skiing and great apres in the village after. Staff always so friendly and helpful wherever you are.

Great runs and views. Conditions were solid. Food in the smaller huts are much better than the larger cafeteria-style lodges. New lifts have improved lines and bottlenecks.

Havent been skiing in 10 years and came up for the day from Vancouver. Parking was good value and ski rental was very efficient and great value. Spent the morning on Whistler Mountain and afternoon on Blackcomb after taking the wonderful glass-bottomed Peak2Peak gondola across with stunning views! The snow was great and I re-found my love for skiing and cant wait to come back on Friday! The après at Merlins was fantastic too!!

Vast ski area with great options for all levels. Great atmosphere in town...have been fortunate to have fresh powder when I've visited. If travelling from the uk, book accommodation and flights early with an epic ski pass for best value.

Very fun for a trip with friends - if youre all similar abilities. Keep in mind its very busy. Long lift lines to start your day but once youre up the first section youre all good. Just dont ski all the way down until youre done your day

If you want to explore amazing terrain, have to best snow in Canada Whistler Blackcomb is a one of a kind resort. The Mountain is probably the best in Canada and the Village is super cute. There is a downside to all of this tho. Its crazy expensive there is so few accommodation and its really hard to find a place to stay. I used to go every Christmas but its just not possible anymore. The price for a ski lift ticket for a day is 330$ canadian. Thats just too much..

The staff are very friendly and helpful, there are cheap and expensive food options as well as a grocery store in the village. Book your trips in the summer/ fall to save money and ski during the week instead of the weekend there are little to no wait times for the lift.

I went to Whistler with my boyfriend a couple years ago. It has since been one of our favourite trips! The views are STUNNING. We were lucky and had perfect conditions. The staff are also so friendly (and seem super cool). Although touristy and pricey, its definitely worth it.

Great resort when not overloaded with skiers/boarders. Waits on powder days/peak season can be long; late season skiing is usually fabulous with few crowds. Amazing terrain for all abilities.

Great slopes with the double mountain access meaning you have so many runs to choose from. Mountainside food options are pricey but that is to be expected. Off piste and challenging runs for those who want it. Stunning scenery and super friendly locals and fellow riders
