What Skiers Say About Whistler Blackcomb

Whistler Blackcomb attracts skiers and snowboarders across all ability levels, from beginners to experts. Reviewers consistently praise the massive skiable terrain across two mountains, the variety of runs including off-piste and tree skiing, and the efficient lift system connecting Whistler and Blackcomb via the Peak 2 Peak Gondola. Snow conditions are frequently mentioned as variable, with several users noting rain at lower elevations, icy patches, and inconsistent coverage depending on the season. The resort is repeatedly described as expensive, with high costs for lift tickets, accommodation, food, and dining both on and off the mountain. Lift queues, particularly on weekends and peak times, are a common complaint, with waits of 20-40 minutes reported at busy periods.

We need more snow! The current conditions are very spring and lower mountains are sparse. Whistler is a lovely town to visit.

The mountains themselves are great fun,
Lots of space to play...
Once you're up.
Getting on the gondola can be a bit of a zoo on the weekends.

10/10 during the week.
4.5/10 on a Saturday

Visited there for my first season. It was a rough start to winter with a lack of snow but the runs were still good. As the mountain opened up with more snow things got a lot better and could discover a hell of a lot more of the two mountains would highly recommend

Whistler is top notch. The hills are always well kept and even if the snow hasn’t fallen recently, it’s still top quality. The Village after your ski day is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy yourself. 10/10.

It’s an amazing resort! So much fun, so much terrain. It sometimes gets too warm in winter due to proximity to the ocean but still fun regardless. Downside is it’s a very expensive town but beautiful.

Snow is hard packed. Temperatures are rising and visibility wasn't great. Hopefully they get a storm or two before the end of season.

The peak chair is a must on a powder day! Also be sure to hit up spankys ladder for a long carvy run out it is worth the hike.

Beautiful resort. Pricey but well worth the visit. Aprez ski pubs/were great! The hotel was a hike to the gondola but shuttle was available. Snow was fair, but not the best winter in Canada.

I have done 3 winter seasons now in whistler and it’s just beautiful! A trip to Whistler Black-comb isn’t just about the skiing, it’s about the full experience; the bars, the food, the people! People may complain about the inconsistency of the snow, but people have to remember that’s not the resorts fault! The mountain itself if one of the biggest resorts, and provides an exceptional array of terrain. No matter what skill level you are, there are runs for you! They also have extensive teaching programs and a full learning bunny hill on both mountains to ensure beginner safety. I highly recommend Whistler as a top winter destination, and recommend seasonal work here too!!!

Whistler Blackcomb is the ULTIMATE snow playground. With more runs to ski than you can count over TWO mountains it’s the best place to go in North America. Have been many times and always keen to go back it’s that’s good. Blue bird days or white out flurries it’s always a fun time on the slopes. Would recommend for anyone of any level a MUST.

Empty pistes, especially on Blackcomb Mountain. Snow quality was excellent. Queues started building around 11, but if you get up the mountain early and do not take the Whistler gondola, it is much more efficient. Great tree runs and lots of double black diamonds - not all were open, unfortunately. Overall, great resort, would recommend.

Overall the experience at Whilster Blackcomb was great. The weather and conditions were not the best, but with that said I would definitely come back. The back bowls were the highlight of the trip. And whistler village itself is very nice to hangout at after skiing.

Fantastic family resort that has an epic amount of terrain for all skill level types that kept all members of the family happy. The weather was spring like conditions and we found it best to ski Whistler in the morning and Blackcomb in the afternoon. My 4 year old loved the slides at the magic castle on blackcomb and wanted to keep going back. The ziptrek tour is awesom and well worth doing as a non skiing activity and my favourite place to eat and drink was Dubh Linn Gate irish bar. The sharers are massive and could feed four, perfect location to rest for a couple of hours after a day on the slopes.

Whistler Blackcomb is a top tier mountain for on and off piste skiing. From mellow groomed line and float powder fields to multi drop showcase features and cornices it’s the most varied location with twin mountain peaks linked by the Peak2Peak Gondola. Lodges and his are filled with food, snacks and drinks, if you’re too busy shredding to stop. Send it for an Après-Ski banger at pretty much any bar, lounge or pub and library/art gallery. Check out the lakes nearby and go bungee jumping, zip line and heli/cat ski all over, cheers
