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.

Whistler is a beautiful Canadian resort close to Vancouver. The infrastructure is excellent, lifts, accommodation and bars and restaurants are superb. Off piste and tree runs are unlike anything in Europe. Lift passes are expensive so search for deals.

I have been to Whistler 9 times in my life over the years, while it gets more expensive each year, it is still such a special year place. The town is magical, 7th heaven with fresh power is also amazing. Highly recommend

Made a ski trip out after buying myself the Epic pass and this is by far the best skiing I’ve done in my life. Very little people on the bowls, a lot of heavy snow and very good on hill accommodations. In terms of terrain, this mountain resort has it all. It’s a must for the North-Am Roxan ski scene.

When living in Whistler, Blackcomb quickly became my favourite of the two mountains. The variety of runs is excellent and the snow was great the whole season. Terrain park is awesome for beginners and pros alike. The downsides are ticket prices if you don’t have a season pass, and the fact that you have to line up at 5:30 am on a pow day to get a good spot in line on one of the gondolas up the mountains. Once you’re up the gondola there’s a good amount of chairs to distribute to though. Whistler for sure has the best apres ski I’ve ever been to and the peak2peak gondola is super unique.

Have skied most of the big western U.S. and Alps resorts having lived in Switzerland for 5 years. Whistler has everything you need and enough terrain variety for all levels and weather conditions. The village is beautiful and so much to offer.

Overall, Whistler Blackcomb was amazing! Both mountains are well taken care of and the staff are very lovely. Prices are high but definitely worth it! Be sure to get out the door early in the day to make it worth while because the gondola lines can get very long very quickly!

Had a nice hot tub suite, ski or board right to the lifts. Only delay was the initial lifts up but after that it was pretty smooth, a few waits after that.

Was lucky to have great weather and visibility and the view from the peaks were amazing 360 views.

Amazing Easter trip with family. Fortunate to have a few massive snow dumps and relatively quiet pistes due to the time of year. But, everything was considerably more expensive than Europe. A once in a lifetime trip

Given the lack of resorts open in the Pacific Northwest region in December 2025 Whistler Blackcomb was amazing with its awesome terrain in the alpine to have as much as they did have open when the wind cooperated. So lucky to play in these beautiful mountains with their outstanding lift networks and gondolas to ride to connect and take in the spectacular scenery. So grateful to experience skiing joy so close to the coastline and Vangroovy city nearby. So special. Love Whistler ❤️

Whistler Blackcomb earns a strong 4.5 out of 5 for snowboarding thanks to its unbeatable atmosphere and massive variety of terrain. The energy on the mountain is incredible, from the lively village to the chairlifts filled with riders from all over the world. There’s something for every level: long groomers, playful tree runs, steep bowls, and world-class terrain parks. You can ride fresh lines for days without repeating the same run. While it can get busy at peak times, the sheer size of the resort spreads people out, making it an unforgettable snowboarding experience.

The terrain is expansive, the night life is super fun but has an underground feel (if you know you know) and some has some of the best food Canada has to offer. Plenty to do off the mountain and core memories are waiting to be made.

My father is Canadian so we visit Whistler often and it is my favourite ski resort. However I have not tried many resorts in Europe. You have the choice of 2 mountains with easy access to both via a large Gondola with beautiful views, so there is plenty of skiing to be done. The village is stunning with lovely bars and restaurants. There is a free shuttle bus service to take you around the area to different restaurants and your accommodation. It is truly magical there and we love it!

Apres doesn’t really exist in Canada. You have to come back down to the village to drink.
Food on Whistler mountain is terrible, it is all frozen food, that is sold for a ridiculous price.
There are a lot of people, on the slopes and sometimes there can be huge queues for lifts. Luckily the lifts do operate relatively well.
If you like off-piste skiing this is the place for you. Also I believe first tracks is worth it
