How Skiers Rate Whistler Blackcomb

A spectacular time! Probably the best ski hill(s) in North America! In Canada for sure. It isn't cheap though ( but nor is skiing/snowboarding in general ). A lift ticket can cost $784.00 CD. They are a great set of mountains.

The accommodation options were great and accessible to hill was amazing(the resort was on hill). There were many workers to offer help ie directions. Vast amount of runs was there for days but saw less then half of the beautiful mountain. The apres was fun and right at bottom of hill. Prices for flights was a bit expensive but accommodation and buses to the resort from airport were very reasonable. Views were stunning when the days were clear , the runs at the very top were a little stressful as cliffs were marked with a little sign and no fence. All and all I would say an amazing place and would definitely go again on future.

Best ski resort in North America, go before Christmas break and no lines,
Full of Australian working and party there, runs so long u prob won't do full thing without break
Great hotels all close to mountain,
Everything u need in one place

Resort is amazing, tones of runs, both peaks have breath taking views, party are insane, gondolas everywhere, food at the peaks, craziest resort I been to

Nothing but the best! Always love hitting up whistler. Great town, so many options for dining nightlife shopping and stays as well as the world class mountains.

Up there with the best, something for everyone including incredible powder, tree runs and bowls. Can be insanely busy on a pow day and long queues which is the only downside

Whistler Blackcomb has amazing terrain that is easy to access. if you can beat traffic or get a cheap room and its a snow day , then whistler cannot be beat. The terrain Is amazing. There is something for every level between both mountains and if one lift is busy, you can usually find one that isnt, or the line moves fast enough that its not a big deal. A single run on whistler can take 20 minutes so you are usually spending more time on the run than in the lift line. Whistler is best for green and black runs. Blackcomb is better for blue and blacks. Snowboarders will prefer blackcomb as there are less roads going uphill.

if youre not finding what you want you can always take the peak to peak to switch between mountains.

The biggest problem with whistler blackcomb is the traffic and the road. Theres one road into town and it backs up frequently. Lodging in town is quite expensive but you can occasionally get a deal. Apres and restaurants seemed expensive last time I looked so finding a place with a kitchen if you are staying over is a must.

The best mints to visit are late January through march. But theres usually one of the mountains open till may

Awesome slopes, been skiing there since I was 3 and have never had a bad season. Recently though the lines for the lifts have been getting really long and there is a long waiting time. But it is still my favourite ski resort, and I the double back diamond runs are sick! Seven Heaven in my favourite. And for lunch, as I child I always had Alfredo pasta on the mountain! Such good memories and cant wait to go there again!! It has been a while

Whistler is an amazing resort! Absolutely massive, loads of diversity in the runs and the views are insane. One of the best in the world for sure!

Genuinely one of the best experiences Ive ever had. The hills are beautiful the accommodation is beautiful and the food you guesses its beautiful

Amazing place to go for all abilities, lots of lesson availability for all levels too. Great apres and well looked after runs

Having skied WB for hundreds of days in pretty much all conditions I feel confident in my opinion. Weekday skiing is always best due to the proximity to Vancouver but the resort terrain is unparalleled.

There are many private condo options for rent... you can cook and prepare meals in a private comfortable setting. BLACKCOMB side is my absolute favorite side... Crystal ridge... less busy... excellent runs. Peak to Peak is handy and and absolute must. Apres ski, restaurants and nightlife is one of the best of all resorts... period. Everything is withing walking distance, but if you are in your ski boots there are regular shuttle busses to pick you up and drop off at main lifts.

Very good place to skiing and snowboarding. Not very beginner friendly but still ok for people starting out. Prices are little bit high but definitely worth it in my opinion. Dining options are not great. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Lots of mountain, so theres always somewhere decent to ski/ride. Time your visit mid-week and youll skip the lines. Blackcomb side overall has more steep runs with less switchbacks, so makes a good pick for snowboarders.

Definitely be prepared for a mix of wide open slopes and insane challenges, not the most wild resort in the world but easily one of the most welcoming. If you want something that caters to exactly what you want, look no further. Ive been here in the summer and winter and its equally an incredible experience either way.
Top tip: get to the slope early and have the fullest day skiing and at least once go from top to bottom in one run <3
Never too busy, can always find an empty, gorgeously quiet and wide run to destress x

Whistler Blackcomb is a great place to spend a weekend, to unwind and jump right into the life on a resort. The village is stocked full of restaurants, ranging from fancy, to family friendly.

The mountains offer so many different ski lifts that you probably wont cover them all in a weekend, but youll most definitely find some quieter spots, and powder when you least expect it.

The resort is fairly busy always, so be prepared for some crowds, but Ive never had to wait too long to get on a lift despite the insane amount of people also at the resort.

Tons of places for accomodation, whether its in the Village, or through AirBnB on the outskirts of the village, while a bit pricey, its definitely a place youll want to experience a weekend at at least once!

5 out of 5 resort on weekdays. It gets extremely busy on weekends. Sometimes wait times can go up to 2 hours on lifts.

I had an amazing time at Whistler Blackcomb! The tree runs were absolutely incredible, offering a perfect mix of challenge and fun, with plenty of room to weave through and explore. The powder zones were a highlight for mefresh, deep snow that made every run feel like a dream. Combined with the well-groomed runs and efficient lifts, the variety of terrain kept every day exciting. Id highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable ski experience!

Im an extremely lucky individual who is lucky enough to Live and work here in Whistler. Ive had a good amount of firsts here when it comes to the mountain, which include first powder day ever and first time snowboarding so just off the bat you can see why this place is special to me.
Every part of Whistler and Blackcomb has something to offer for every rider whether your looking for easy blues and greens which can get pretty busy sometimes, nice and easy off piste action, daring black runs and some knarly double blacks. My favourite run has to be bagel bowl which is a diamond black, but even in my first year of snowboarding i was able to make it there with a friend who knows the terrain. Even though theres not much snow at the moment, good early conditions have allowed me to ride my favourite run already.
