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.

Its a pretty good resort- and there are lots of things to do even if you dont ski. My cousin got married here.
However the lift lines are really long.
Go when its raining to skip the crowds.

Whistler Blackcomb is a skier's paradise in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. With the largest skiable terrain in North America, it offers diverse slopes for all skill levels. Beyond skiing, the vibrant Whistler Village and a range of activities, from zip-lining to spa retreats, make it a well-rounded destination for winter enthusiasts.

Whistler Blackcomb has been like a second home to me. Beautiful runs, scenic views, and an incredible range of terrain will definitely provide good times.While the prices arent the best and the runs get a little crowded, the good times shared with friends and family heavily outweigh the cons. I will highly recommend this resort to anyone that can get an edge card for passes.

Ive spent two seasons in WB. Being born and raised in Tatras, Slovakia, this was literally like unlocking a next level in already well played game. Its not only the terrain, but the overall stoke about riding that makes you push your limits a bit further, even if you dont want to. I imagine how my life would be if I lived here from when I was a kidfreeride terrain easily accesible from the lift or with only a bit of skitouring..a real dream. I am not giving 5stars as the resort is often crowded and the lineups are pretty crazy- and! To leave space for improvement, that is always a good idea! Thanks for having me WB

I worked on WB off and on since 1998 . 2015-2020 worked in the ski school as a CSIA level 3 and had a lot of fun . Lot of fun easy access ski touring for days off , anything from 1 hr quick skins to 8 day over nights doing McBride traverse heading south or 2 day trip Skiing north to mount Currie in Pemberton . Lots of steep fun stuff in bounds and always find a new line within an old line . Can be there 20 years and still no be bored. I would have made a review for Shames resort in Terrace if that was an option since thats where I live now and work primarily at a heli ski lodge in town .
