Whistler Blackcomb

Whistler Blackcomb, located in British Columbia, is North America's largest ski resort, offering diverse terrain and world-class facilities. Renowned for its size, it boasts over 8,000 acres of skiable terrain, with two mountains—Whistler and Blackcomb—connected by the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, the highest lift in the world. Known for its reliable snowfall and a staggering 1,609 meters of vertical drop, it attracts skiers from every corner of the earth.

Whistler Mountain's gentler Emerald 6 Express and Harmony 6 Express zones provide great intermediate groomers like Harmony Ridge and Rabbit Tracks. We also recommend checking out the Big Red Express, which is a high-speed 6-person chair that houses easy skiing greens and blues. Whistler Mountain doesn't just feature gentle terrain. The top of Whistler Mountain via the Peak Express is no joke, with direct access to The Couloir and The Cirque runs, which are both double blacks and have some seriously rowdy terrain. The Peak Express also provides access to the legendary Peak to Creek run, an 11-kilometer descent that is North America's longest single trail and is one of our favorite descents, but it's truly a leg burner.

Blackcomb Mountain's 3,414 acres deliver more advanced terrain. The 7th Heaven lift provides above-treeline bowl skiing with some of the resort's best views and access to the Showcase T-bar, which brings you to another amazing bowl. The Glacier Express also accesses expert terrain, including Spanky's Ladder's steep chutes and the Blackcomb Glacier, offering a near-backcountry experience within the bounds of the resort. At the bottom of Glacier Express, take the Jersey Cream lift to access some steep trees and Whistler Blackcomb's legendary terrain parks, which are designed for the best freeskiers in the world.

As the biggest ski resort in North America, Whistler Blackcomb provides over 8,000 acres to explore across two mountains connected via one of the most epic gondola rides in the world. The Village is expansive, with lodging just feet away from the main gondola and there are plenty of places to stay in the surrounding area.
