Whistler / Blackcomb

If you want an authentic big-mountain adventure during the day and a sophisticated alpine-village experience at night, Whistler / Blackcomb is it. This heavyweight champion of North American skiing-boasts the biggest vertical (5,280 feet), and most terrain. Located in the Coast Mountain Range of British Columbia, this twin-peaked queen, is serviced conveniently with door to door ground transportation from Vancouver International Airport only 2 1/2 hours away.

Justifiably ranked at the top among major ski resorts, Whistler / Blackcomb with its five base areas offers 33 lifts including, eleven, high-speed quads, three gondolas servicing acres of ski and snowboard terrain (7,071 acres), with 12 alpine bowls, 3 glaciers, and over 200 marked trails.

Whistler / Blackcomb consistently offers the most reliable snow conditions, receiving an average annual snowfall of 914 cm (30 feet).

The two greatest vertical rise ski mountains in North America won't leave you short of breath. The village's base elevation starts at just over 2,000 feet, with the peak elevation ending at 7,494 feet so you can enjoy your ski vacation without feeling winded.

Never-to-be-forgotten runs on Blackcomb Glacier rival the best in the Alps, while the five-mile swoop down Whistler Mountain is one of the longest in North America. The central village, too, is distinctive and reminiscent of the best European ski resorts. Cosmopolitan shops and restaurants cluster around charming plazas and along walkways designed for strolling. Ethnic restaurants and cozy cafes abound. Whistler/Blackcomb offers an exciting international ambiance that is unique among North American ski resorts while maintaining the high standards of New World comfort as well.

Indeed, the most popular places to hang out for après are the "cement beaches": the massive outdoor patios of the Longhorn Saloon, Merlin’s, the GLC, Monk’s Grill, Citta’s, or Dusty’s in Whistler Creekside.

Only 5 minutes from Whistler / Blackcomb lie 100's of untracked powder snow capped peaks accessible to a few lucky guests who choose to explore Whistlers backcountry either on a heli-skiing or snowcat skiing adventure.

Whistler Blackcomb Resort has numerous winter activities for the non-alpine skier/rider including cross country skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoe tours, and even sleigh rides for the romantic at heart. Experience the tranquility of cross country skiing under starry skies; enjoy a spectacular ride on Whistler Mountain's fully enclosed gondola or on one of Blackcomb's express quad chairs for a day of mountaintop sightseeing; try paragliding and take off from a glacier and soar high above the snow-covered runs; go for an exhilarating snowmobile adventure off the beaten track.

Following an exhilerating day of skiing, riding or just exploring the Whistler valley with friends or family, relax and enjoy your slopeside or ski-in ski-out property complete with commom or private hot tub.
