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.

Great terrain, snow is amazing after fresh snowfall when the temperature stays cold. Ski patrol does a great job with avalanche control and safety. Ski/snowboard school have amazing instructors.

A great time, pretty expensive but you can definitely do it cheaper if you’re conscious of your spending. Apres ski at longhorn is great. Mountain is well maintained and has some great moguls especially when there’s fresh powder.

The Mountain is beautiful. With blue skies the off piste sections ar limitless and a great place to advance skill without going out of bounds. On a quiet day it is magical. But you can equally get days where you're queuing in a lift for 40 mins and it stops every 5. No apres on the slopes which is a shame all the apres is in the village which is so expensive. But the atmosphere feels like you're in Disney land.

Review of Whistler Blackcomb

Absolutely beautiful experience. We were there over Christmas and the village truly sparkled — it felt magical. We were lucky to catch a big dump of snow, which made for fantastic ski conditions, especially considering it was still early in the season. There was a great variety of runs to choose from, making it fun for different skill levels. Between the scenery, the festive village, and the solid snow, it was an unforgettable trip. Would 100% go back. ❄️⛷️

I love whistler blackcomb, I am here doing my first ski season. Everything is walking distance, the workers around the resort are so lovely, the bars, restaurants etc are somewhat affordable. The mountain is nice, slopes are groomed and the lifts are very easy to do as a beginner snowboarder.

The ultimate ski resort, the piste area is so large, there are so many routes to explore that you can always find a quiet run. Really well maintained and very efficient. Plenty of food options on and off piste and lots of non ski activities for families who are not on the slopes.

Such an amazing place to visit and ski. The runs are fantastic. Being from Ontario where the best place to ski is probably blue mountain going to Whistler is such a treat!!

The number one resort in the world and you couldn’t convince me otherwise. Simple as that. Amazing amount of ski terrain, parks, off piste, and much more. Literally everything you could dream of in one place!

I have an epic pass so I ski Whistler Blackcomb a lot. It’s not the resorts fault for lack of snow (and the insane amount of rain). I think they could spend a bit more time grooming other trails and bowls etc in a season like this.

Town was gorgeous, great restaurants with a good variety of cuisines. Many apres ski options. Ski rentals are easy and readily available. Mountains and trails were tonnes of fun as a beginner-intermediate skier. Quite pricey overall though but would definitely go back

Nothing like the views at Whistler Blackcomb. Sometimes it’s a bit too busy, but still worth it. The most terrain and a place for everyone

Was a great experience. A quick trip so only one day to review but we ski there usually about 20 days a year. Unfortunately not enough snow so it was really icy. We love the snow school it’s the best we’ve found anywhere to teach our kids. Prices are high as we all know and I would like to see some more healthy food options. Lift lines were short presumably because of snow conditions. Accommodations too expensive for the state of the mountain but not a surprise. Hard to complain on a bluebird day.

Amazing mountains for skiing and the village experience is just as good. Tons of restaurants and apres ski locations within walking distance from the gondola. Parking is usually accessible and the accommodations are good. Overall always a fun day or weekend spent at Whistler.
