Whistler Blackcomb Reviews & Ratings

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.

Whistler Blackcomb was my favorite ski resort growing up, and still is even as an adulthood. In recent years, it was acquired by an American corporation, and unfortunately, prices have surged. That said, there are some great deals available for veterans and individuals with disabilities can snag an affordable season pass, and the Epic pass offers fantastic rates for little kids as well.

If youre introducing your children to skiing or snowboarding, check out Epic Schools, first time kids get a free lesson, full day rentals, and lunch included! Despite the rising costs, the resort remains incredibly family friendly. For singles, the nightlife is vibrant and buzzing, but keep an eye on your beer tab it can climb faster than youd expect.

Whistler Blackcomb boasts some of the most amazing slopes for snowboarding, with terrain that caters to every skill level, from beginner friendly runs to advanced backcountry trails. The views from the slopes are absolutely breathtaking, with snow covered peaks stretching as far as the eye can see. Chairlifts run efficiently, but be prepared for massive lineups during peak times, so plan accordingly to maximize your day on the mountain.

When it comes to accommodations, theres something for every budget. Options range from affordable hostels and trendy pod hotels to luxurious high end resorts. Multiple families can even rent whole cabins! As for the gastronomy, culinary options are diverse and cater to a wide range of tastes, so something for everyone. High prices aside, Whistler Blackcomb is an amazing resort.

I spent a year living on this mountain, when I arrived I had never snowboarded, when I left I was boarding park, double blacks and off piste tree runs.
The mountain has ALL the terrain you could possibly wish for! And if ever a run feels busy its very easy to pick another quieter one.
After a powder day theres always pockets of powder hidden all over.
Village life is short of breathtaking and has something for everyone! Several hotels are built into the base of the mountain and you can literally ski to the door.
If I had to pick a mountain to ski or snowboard on for the rest of my life, this would be it.

Resort is great as a worker here for a season as free ski passes and many perks. However as someone on holiday or visiting the value for money is questionable, it is incredible at whistler Blackcomb but it comes at a large cost! However early season is brilliant if the snow is as slopes especially on blackcomb mountain are quieter

Great skiing on the mountain, lots of terrain to try either off piste or groomed runs. Can get busy however so fresh powder can get ran through quick, so need to be up early on those snow days!

Lots of good apres options but especially hair farmers who play at merlins and dustys throughout the week. Expensive place to stay and ski, however the vast and diverse terrain across 2 mountains means great skiing everywhere. 7th heaven chair lift on a bluebird powder day is amazing! And symphony chair for plenty of tree runs!

Lots of different and newly renovated lifts that get you up the mountain quickly, however the gondola can be very stop start which is frustrating at times.

Overall great fun to ski all day and then enjoy the apres scene at whistler village, upper village or creekside! Plenty to do!

I lived in Whistlerduring the 2011/2012 winter season.

Whistler as a village feels like a fully functioning city at the base of a mountain in a good way. there's so much going on that the staff used to joke about it as being a bubble, you felt disconnected from the rest of the world but at the same time still in touch.

There's no dispensaries in town but squamish will deliver around 5pm so plan ahead.

The bar scene is great, hosting big and small - Steve Aoki at Garfunkels and Mad Child at MoeJoes being two I recall.

The people are great, the village is fantastic, the scenery unbelievable and the mountain is just lovely.

It still feels like home when I visit.

The amount of ski acreage is awesome as is the diversity of terrain. There has always been decent snow conditions when we were there.
When it is not crowded, I have not been anywhere better. During crowds it can be frustrating waiting in line to get on the lifts especially if you are only there for a week of vacation.

Whistler has endless skiing entertainment especially if you want to ski off piste and still be in bounds. There are many bowls and tree runs off the side of the pistes making them easily accessible. Go to Seventh Heaven, Harmony or Symphony for this. In addition to this I loved being able to make short hikes to access more untouched trails, my favourite of these being Flute Bowl and Spankys Ladder.

I trained to instruct in Whistler and the quality of ski school instructors is incredible even for the advanced skiers.

Whistler town as lots to offer in terms of accommodation and great food. Its also worth considering a first tracks pass if it snows whilst youre there. This gives you early access to the mountain and breakfast in a restaurant on the mountain too.

Great resort, loads of runs for all levels. Amazing scenery. Lunch time can get busy however its great. Village is also very well laid out.

Really amazing conditions and minimal wait times except for the gondola but beautiful views. Highly suggest longhorn parties. Awesome experience although pricey.

After learning how to ski in Charmonix several years ago, I decided to learn how to snowboard here in Whistler. Whilst the slopes were still a bit icy due to weather conditions, I could still get some effective boarding done. There is much more snow during the January and February months, and i recommend visiting then. There are plenty of slopes to choose from and ski lifts leaving right from the village centre.

The village is on the pricier side, charging much more for the ski pass and lessons compared to surrounding mountains, but this is due to the popularity of the village.

The village is vibrant, with a great mix of internationals that are working and visiting. I would definitely recommend staying here for a week, getting some great skiing/boarding done whilst enjoying a beer afterwards.

I have been skiing at Whistler since I was 5 years old. Its one of my favorite mountain that I have ever skied at. Although pricey, you can buy day passes at the start of the season and those are a pre solid deal. The skiing itself is amazing each run is amazing wide with a variety of terrain to choose from. As soon as you come down from the slopes, you can see the apres ski in action. Bars right at the bottom of the lifts are always packed.
