Whistler Blackcomb Reviews & Ratings

Here you have the coastal mountains ski hill Whistler.
It's epic, when it's good it unbelievable.
Definitely should be on everyone's bucket list.
Love it.

Best ski resort I've been to in canada if not the best ski resort I've been to, amazing trails, runs and park. It also has some of the friendliest staff I've seen for a ski resort

Whistler is the most well-known ski resort in Canada. It is HUGE. It takes 2 to 3 days of skiing to have a full experience of the resorts. Youd find any type of slope with any difficulty youll looking for. Lifts are efficient and quick. You might see a line up if you go on a weekend but dont worry about it because it goes faster than you think. For someone whos looking for multiple visits at the resort, ld suggest a season pass which worth the price big time! Ive been skiing since l was 5 and lve visited many resorts around the globe but Whistler is one my favourites. Not just the quality of the resort but also the beauty of the nature. Cant wait to visit there again! On a scale from 1 to 10, ld give it a 10/10!

I mean.. its Whistler Blackcomb..

Youre going to pay a lot of money.. youre going to see a lot of people.. its the pinnacle of capitalizing on the Canadian skiing market. Massive resort, super fast lifts.. but so many people who dont know proper skiing etiquette.. and so many people you wish werent there.

Been in lines as long as an hour. The terrain is great, but its just too busy. At least most skiers who are there arent tearing up the gnar.. but it makes you wish they just stayed at grouse mountain.

Overall, incredible terrain. Amazing spots to apres.. just too many people, even on average ski days.

I wonder what it would be like if Vancouver didnt hold the 2010 Olympics.

I just wanna shred the pow up top all day, but the jabronis (jerrys) are just in the way of me getting on the lift.

Its Whistler. You gotta go.. but expect that its gonna be a full experience, not a skiing-focussed experience.

Had like three poutines there.. I would devour about five more if my wallet and heart thought it would be a favourable idea.

Also.. its minimum $250 a lift ticket.

Whistler Blackomb is a ski resort that attracts tourists from all around the globe. They are accommodating to tourists, yet they always find ways to put BC locals first. Whether its the BC student pass; or the epic local pass, theres always a way to save money skiing Whistler Blackcomb if youre a local. Due to its elevation theres always good quality snow to be found. I
And if an area is getting busy on one side of the mountain, you can just take the gondola to the opposite mountain. The back country options are fantastic, and groomed runs are well kept and fun for anyone. Theres something for everyone at Whistler Blackcomb. The resort and night life options are also some of the best; with many clubs and bars around the village, theres always something to do after a great day of skiing. Whether youre a tourist who wants to learn to ski or just get some good eats and shopping in; or the most seasoned skier or boarder, theres something at Whistler Blackcomb for you.

So reviewing Whistler blackcomb for their Winter season, they are a very good resort definitely worth a four or five star review but they are very busy and it can get expensive

Very big and huge runs for a skier from Europe. Soo much terrain to ride and explore. I'm with a car camper there :)

Big resort, ideal for all abilities. Does get busy over peak times including weekend and public holiday. Can be waiting a while for lifts at times. Resort has Peak-Peak gondola, taking you between Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain in about 15mins.
Ample good food and apres options. Is an expensive resort but we were working seasonally and felt our wages reflected this.
Best area - symphony trees and Arthurs choice.

Awesome ski resort. Tons of terrain, but overcrowded on peak days. A must do for any skier or boarder.

Huge ski resort, many options. Kingdom of powder. Well comunicacion with Vancouver. Expensive ski pass and expensive accommodations

Whistler/Blackcomb is the apex ski resort in the western hemisphere. The skiable terrain on the resort alone is impressively varied with tons of options for skiers and snowboarders of any level. Most importantly, the variety is this resorts best quality when the snow conditions and or weather are not ideal. Socked in at the peak? Duck into any of the lower glades for some fun technical turns. Trust the locals, youll want a good all mountain gear and gore-Tex for the pacific north west. Many who ski here will have multiple skis in their quiver to tackle the snow conditions on different days. This also goes for goggles. Youll want a couple lens options when the weather systems roll in. Some of the best lift capacity and efficiency in the world, and when youre ready for off-piste, this mountain will truly reward you. All of this comes at a steep price. The accommodations are world class, five star dining right down to dive bar fun. Is a day on the hill worth almost $300CDN? That depends on how much mountain you think you can cover.

Reasonable transfer time from Vancouver. Good piste grooming but also some runs left ungroomed. Good range of accommodation options, condos expensive. Most of the ski hire shops appear to be controlled by the resort; not many independents.
Huge range of differing pistes from almost flat blues to some gnarly blacks so something for everyone. Heliskiing opens up a potentially vast area of off-piste in uninhabited wilderness, brilliant.
Final runs into the village centres can get congested at the end of the day and late in the season can get very slushy.
Usually lots of snow but the proximity of the Pacific Ocean means that it can sometimes be somewhat wet and heavy.

We love Whistler...

The drive up to Whistler from Vancouver on the Sea to Sky highway is breathtaking... it's also worth taking in Squamish and the Sea to Sky gondola on route if you have time.

Canadian hospitality has to be one of the best, eating out is exciting, especially when visiting the Mongolie Grill, such a great concept being able to choose your own ingredients and have it cooked right in front of you on a large rotating round griddle!

The slopes are perfect for our type of skiing, plenty of wide open runs that all meet up at the bottom, so no chance of getting lost in this vast area of two superb mountains.
There is plenty of off piste areas too including a steep decent called Spanky's Ladder... a double Black and not for the feint hearted!

The Peak 2 Peak gondola is the longest span cable car.
Worlds longest unsupported span for a lift of this kind at 3.024km/1.88miles and the worlds highest lift of its kind at 436m/1,427ft above the valley floor.

We LOVE Whistler!

Unarguably one of the best resorts in the world... but increasingly reliant on having sufficient $ to access it. Outside of peak times and weekends it can be an absolute pleasure, but when the snow comes in it is often followed by the entire population of Vancouver and the queues...

Lots of terrain over two mountains. Areas for all levels. Apres isn't great and is nothing like Europe and the beer sucks.

Whistler is great, the liens can be long at times but when you're up there it's fantastic. Loads of terrain, it's endless. Mountain restaurants aren't that great, just bring a lunch with you. The lifts stop all the time.

Whistler is a great resort with good variety for everyone. It can be busy at weekends, but during the week is great.

Whistler was a great resort. Loads on offer and caters to all levels of abilities. It is a huge resort too so no two places feel the same. Lots of space to explore would definitely recommend to experience it.

On a good day Whistler will provide the best skiing experience of your life, especially for those who love skiing above the treeline and finding different lines. Nothing beats a good snow day at Whistler. With that being said, between rain or rapid changes in temperature the mountain conditions can change quickly and become icy, very slushy and frankly un enjoyable to ski in a short amount of time. There is always something to find on the hill but under poorer conditions I am unsure if it justifies the 300$ lift ticket but on a good day it sure does!

First time at whistler blackcomb or in whistler in general and what an athmosphere. The mountains were incredible, staff is super friendly i had a blast on and off the slopes.
