Whistler Blackcomb Reviews & Ratings

Very good terrain with lots of variety. However over priced tickets, not enough parking, and long lift lines

An overall positive experience and very family friendly with beautiful scenery. I would reccomend skiing here at least once. The comparatively high costs due stop me from returning year after year

Exelent resort with lots of terrain and exelent sideconutry touring from boundary. Has become a tourist destination so incredibly busy on weekends and holidays. Dont go to the resort hoping for more than 3 runs on a pow day as the entirety of Vancouver will be thier.

I love my home resort, although it isnt the same as when I grew up. When the snow is good, theres almost nowhere better to be in North America. Tons of terrain ranging from steep descents to world class terrain and some world class tree skiing. The village is equally world class, and offers a ton of dining and accommodation options that fit most budgets. Being so close to a major city also means that there are a ton of options for the little ones, making it extremely family friendly. That being said whistler is becoming increasingly unaffordable and popular with crowds coming from said major city. This, coupled with the often varying snow conditions, make buying a seasons pass there a gamble year after year, especially since most of the off-piste terrain is in bounds and gets skied out fairly quick. All in all though whistler is world class, and a destination that should be on everyones list.

Whistler is a great, big mountain experience. There is a range of different types of skiing terrains for all levels, as well as lots of off piste and tree skiing options. When the alpine area does not open up (high winds or too much snow etc) it can make for a very busy lower section of the mountain, leading to long wait times on the handful of open chairlifts. Whistler has also become very expensive for the drop in day skier, over the past few years.
Overall, Whistler remains a great ski destination, but know it can get very busy at times, and is expensive for same day type ticket purchases.

Best ski village, great terrain options, great back country access, very bad lift issues with all lifts having daily operational issues.
Lift lines are huge on pow days.
Very very overpriced day tickets

Whistler Blackombs terrain and sheer beauty is simply unmatched. There is just so much to choose from that it is sometimes STRESSFUL to ski, especially on a pow day. But a good stressful if that makes sense. From waist deep powder, to slushy spring conditions, you can ride this mountain in infinite combinations and it just keeps on giving. Its hard for me to believe that I get to just be out there sometimes. Over the years I feel like the mountain has lost a bit of points in my eyes due to the sheer amount of people that come up. Its crazy that such a huge mountain gets that many people. Be careful riding down at the end of the day as the mid mountain gets super busy and often doesnt have the most experienced skiers, especially on weekends. If you dont know a zone, or it says out of bounds and you arent familiar, DONT GO. Whistler is no joke, and can go from really fun to really spooky in seconds, especially with the visibility being low a lot of the time. Speaking of the visibility, it is probably one of the stormiest and low vis resorts Ive been to. Being in the PNW, its normal, so Im not complaining, you just have to pick your lines carefully and always wear an everyday or clear lens. Even on the sunny days to be honest, because weather can change really quickly. If you look past the crazy lines and chaos that ensues (specially on pow days) it truly is one of the best if not THE best ski resorts in the world. And after all, it is the biggest ski resort in North America so once youre out of the line it can get pretty quiet depening on where you go. Anyways, I love this resort as its my home resort and will always speak highly of it!

Give it it's due the weather wasn't great it's rained every day. Half the mountain was closed just mud. The lifts are old and slow queuing is slow don't believe the app times. Apart from the cable car just 4 man chairs. For my first trip over the pond I can only say that I was disappointed ️. Spent most of my life dreaming of a chance to ski in Canada. But in no hurry to go back. The flight time is not worth it. Sorry.

Amazing resort but quite expensive. The amount of runs is amazing but queues can get quite long on the weekends. Would recommend

Whistler Blackcomb is an absolute dream for any ski or snowboard enthusiast! With its massive combined terrain, its like hitting the jackpot of winter sports. The variety of runs caters to all levels, from gentle slopes for beginners to heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping steeps for the experts. The breathtaking scenery of the Coast Mountains adds to the thrill of every ride. Plus, the resort village is buzzing with energy, offering top-notch dining, cozy lodges, and vibrant nightlife. Whether youre shredding the slopes or soaking in the après-ski scene, Whistler Blackcomb delivers an unforgettable experience that keeps you coming back for more. Its simply epic!

Whistler is unbeatable. With two huge mountains to explore, there is enough terrain to keep you busy for multiple visits. Whistler Blackcomb has an excellent mix of beginner/intermediate runs and more advanced bowls and off piste terrain. There is also a huge village with fun pubs and high end dining.

Whistler is the mountain to go in BC for skiing expereince. One thing I will say is the accommodations are the most expensive and lineups on powder days are dereadful.

Im a skier than will see value in the smaller resorts with great terrain. Whistler Blackcomb is big and famous, its a big international destination. and from what Ive found ; almost every ski resort in North America owned by Vail or Aspen have prices that arent worth unless you buy their Epic or Ikon pass.
That being said, Whistler-Blackcomb has every kind of accommodation and aprés ski village. Its a giant and developed area with good food and family friendly. Unfortunately the times I went were warm and rainy so most of the mountain was closed, Ive hear wonderful thing and could clearly see how amazing a resort this would had all of it been open with good conditions. It quite literally has everything for your progressing skiers to your adventurers.

Whistler accommodated my Invictus Games 2025 Team Canada yesterday, and the experience was a 10/10. Whistler adaptive staff helped us all out, and from every single step, the staff were friendly, accommodating, efficient, and the trails were top-notch. I cant wait to hit the slopes out here again!!!!
