How Skiers Rate Whistler Blackcomb

Best skiing in years. Groomers are perfect not too busy, lifts are quick and well designed. The village is one of the most fun places, for any age. Whistler is a must do.

The best time! I recommend whistler to anyone who skis or snowboards, not to anyone who doesn't! The village overcrowds with non-sport tourists which is one thing I don't love, but otherwise it's the best!

Seriously one of the best places I have ever gone to ski. People are very nice and are fun to be around. The lines in the morning can be long but once everyone is up on the mountain and dispersed, getting more than 12 runs in is quite feasible especially since the runs are longer. Powder is excellent. Depending where you are from the trip to get to whistler is a hike for sure but once you are there you are in this amazing skiing world. Night life could be better but apres ski is more popular.

World class resort for good reason.

Has a little bit of everything you would ever need on a mountain: groomers, mogul fields, steepes, bowls, glades, chutes. The list goes on and on.

Sometimes the lift lines can get out of control but usually are no longer than 15 minutes, from what I have experienced.

Free parking in certain lots and priority carpool parking in lot 7 and 8 until 11AM.

Snowboarders should stay on Blackcomb because of the higher vertical and less traverses. Whistler has some nice runs, but at the expense of unstrapping to walk up small hills or a bit of skating to get where you need to go.

Designated family zone on Whistler Mountain too. And we aren't talking about one tiny hill, it's a LARGE zone where ski patrol enforces the speed limit to make sure you and your children are having fun and safe. Don't be bummed out if you are there riding with your beginner kids, the family zone runs are long in length, and mellow in vertical.

Fantastic mountain(s) but comes at a price!

Such a great experience here. We went during snowboarding world week and had the best apres ski. The walk around the village is beautiful with tons of food and drink options. I am already looking forward to my next trip back!

Amazing place, great accommodation options and so much variety of areas to ski everyday. Nice choice of restaurants and apres.

From the Vancouver Airport to Whistler/Blackcomb ski resort along the sea to sky highway is one of the most stunning drives in the world. Try and land during the day and hope for good weather to capture the picturesque views from the sea to the mountains.
You get the best of both worlds from two epic mountains of any terrain you want depending on the snow. On Whistler a beginner can go up and see the beautiful Harmony Ridge & Peak Chair to see Black Tusk while experts can ski double black chutes, steeps, bowls and moguls. Great for kids with the enchanted forest and the tree fort. A little stop at the outdoor Umbrella bar is a must especially if you to hang with the locals.
Get on the Peak 2 Peak glass bottom gondola for one of most spectacular rides of your life. Popping off that all riders should head left to 7th heaven to enjoy Hughes heaven and cloud nine. If you are an expert and with a guide ask to ski pacalolo and the Sudan to make all your dreams come true.
Its dreamy, get an epic pass otherwise tickets are way too much. Book your hotels early for a better rate. If you are looking for great food on the mountain head to Christines or Steeps with a well booked in advance reso.
Have a great time and book me Tami Bradley through the Ski With An Olympian Program.

Amazing skiing, some of the best I have experienced. The restaurant and village offer something for everyone.

The resort is huge with amazing runs if theyre open. The town is too expensive for employees to live there without sharing 6-10 people in a house.
Unfortunately Vail cares more for profits than their customers and employees. The resort doesnt make snow when conditions are perfect and the slopes need it which means that you cant ski too to bottom in many areas. The hospital is not equipped to deal with bad accidents.
The weekend and holiday lift lines are insane.
The best time to ski is midweek however youll often find that not all lifts are running.
I love the resort for skiing, however Vail has sucked the soul out of skiing there and every other Vail resort Ive visited.
Save your money, go to Europe or Japan and youll have a great time.

Went earl in the season when the queues were non-existent but conditions were still great.
Fresh pow for the first week of December.

Early in the season but still had great conditions meaning no queues and you could just keep going up and down for a full day of skiing.

Beautiful mountains and beautiful town. Very expensive but worth it go st least once. So many different runs you can do.

Amazing long runs, great for powder and off piste/tree runs, but very busy causing long queues at lifts and busy slopes. Good apres ski too, but given the high demand, accommodation is somewhat limited and expensive.

Great Resort for a group with different levels of experience with lots of choices of runs and slopes. Small village with proximity to everything including the gondolas.

I really enjoy whistler blackcomb but not for the reasons most people travel here for as i grew up in whistler and have spent the majority of my life on these slopes. The facilities are world class no doubt and there are massive areas to explore but Im here to ride and enjoy time with friends and family and if it werent for those people I wouldnt be here as the price i feel isnt warranted especially for a short vacation. The runs are crowded powder is tracked out by 10 every day after a good snowfall unless youre very experienced in finding the hidden gems that only local experience brings. That being said there is a massive area to explore and it is a world class place but Iam looking forward to finding new vistas at different resorts

Great report, but gets very busy with fresh snow fall as the locals all bunk off work! So do the kids. In fact everyone from anywhere close will be there so be sure to get to the lift we'll before it opens or risk waiting even longer after...

We recently visited Whistler over the xmas holidays. We waited till the last minute to book to make sure snow was going to be good - it did not dissappoint. The xmas holidays are a busy time so we knew the lift lines would be busy, but once you were higher up on the mountains lines and crowds were not an issue. There are always spots to ski/snowboard where you can find untracked fresh as the resort is so big. Know your terrain though or it could be a long walk out of a flat spot in tonnes of snow.

Banging resort, was super fun great people and great food, and amazing apres ski scene, came here for 2 weeks and didnt want to leave

The foremost ski resort destination in Canada - has everything you could want and more. The village provides lots of ski in/out accommodations, and lots more available a short walk/ride away. There are 2 resort villages, depending on your vibe, each with lots of food, drink options, but only one with proper club/party options. Endless terrain, incredible snow, back-country glades, world-class parks and features. Good variety of runs for beginners to experts, plus tons of back country terrain accessible by heli/snowmobile for the real adventurers.

Very busy lines, traffic coming off mountain too so leave before 2pm if you want to avoid sitting it stop and go traffic. Very big resort tho lots of runs so plenty to choose from. Quite expensive though.
