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.

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.

I absolutely love this mountain, I grew up doing ski lessons here for about 4 years. Then ventured off on my own, which allowed me to explore how amazing the terrain parks are and how fun tree runs are. There is so much to do and so many hidden gems. Definitely check out the crystal hut for the most amazing waffles!

Whistler is worth the hype. With all mountains of this size conditions are everything and out of the control of the resort. It rained for 3 days before I got there but I still had an amazing experience. You will not beat the views here anywhere in the world, and even with the rain the team did a good job to groom down the snow to make the runs as best as they could be. It is expensive, but the amount of skiing you can do and the views are something you need to experience.

Some of the most incredible views with what feels like unlimited terrain. You can spend and entire day on either Whistler or Blackcomb and not have enough time to see the full mountain. Unfortunately the cost has become extravagant and it is teeming with people. Not only are you paying $300 for 1 day lift ticket, but you then get to spend most of that day in massive lines for both the gondolas and the lifts. Not to mention you’re paying $30 per person for a sub-par meal at any of the chalets on the mountain. Vails purchase of the mountain unfortunately was the beginning of the end for what was my favourite ski resort.

Have been skiing here since I was a tot, Whistler Blackcomb is always my favourite, there's something for everyone here. Pro tip, hit up 7th heaven before 10am to avoid crazy lines.

I’ve visited a few times. The set up is awesome and because the mountains are so huge with the bowls as well it never feels overcrowded. There’s lots of really gentle beginner slopes if you’re learning and of course the double diamonds if you’re not!
The powder is unreal - typically dry unlike the wet European slopes.
The pedestrianised village makes you feel safe and there’s loads of restaurants to chose from.
Whistler is my favourite resort and would go back in a heartbeat. Didn’t get any altitude sickness here either.
