When it comes to skiing and riding, Whistler Blackcomb has variety and then some. Choose from steeps, deeps, chutes, high alpine bowls, glades, superb corduroy, long cruisers, and gentle rollers. Riders and skiers will revel in the Parks & Pipes on both mountains plus natural launch pads, hits, wind-lips, cornices, cliff drops, and ridges - the place is like a huge, natural terrain park!
But Whistler doesn’t just finish when the lifts close. When you’ve explored the 8,000 plus acres of terrain on both mountains, head down to the valley and experience Village life. The picturesque pedestrian only village linking both mountains contains a thriving après ski scene accompanied by legendary nightlife, restaurants to suit every budget and craving, and shopping to satisfy even the most ardent.
Whistler's an adventure playground. Try your hand at the huge array of activities on offer. Heli-skiing, snowshoeing, snow-mobiling, backcountry and cat skiing, cross-country skiing, ice skating, tubing and even dog sledding make up just a fraction of what’s available.
 With it’s world famous skiing and boarding, an unparalleled après scene, wide-ranging accommodations, rejuvenating spas, eclectic shopping, delicious dining and an activity list as long as your arm, it's easy to see why Whistler continues to be voted the number 1 ski resort in North America.
