With over 3,307 hectares of snow-covered slopes, 16 alpine bowls, three glaciers, world-class terrain parks and half pipes and over 200 marked trails for all ability levels. Whistler Blackcomb has become synonymous with towering peaks, deep snow, innovative ideas and the passionate people who are drawn to it all.

Pacific storms collide with the Coast Mountain Range, reliably depositing over 11 metres of snow each year. Vast alpine bowls and ancient glaciers stretch down to meet a seemingly endless variety of glades, groomers and learning areas that make up the most terrain in North America. The world

record-breaking PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola stretches over four kilometres between the tops of the two mountains to provide an unparalleled experience and a glimpse at an engineering feat. And finally, legendary big mountain athletes, Olympians and Paralympians mingle with the snow industry’s pre-eminent photographers and film makers, creating a cultural mecca that has made Whistler Blackcomb the number one ski resort in North America.

While Whistler Blackcomb is defined by winter, that is only half of what makes it special. Whistler Blackcomb is late-autumn hikes to pristine peaks covered with wildflowers and wildlife; and it is spring glacier skiing and riding on Blackcomb’s renowned glacier.
