Voted the best resort in N.America for the last few years, Whistler offers unrivaled skiing and nightlife. The two mountains, Blackcomb and Whistler should keep you busy for weeks, with kilometer after kilometer of piste. Then there is the off-piste at Whistler, acres of it, coupled with 33ft of snow a year, one of the biggest/scariest terrain parks in the world and tree skiing you cannot get bored of. One of the team had worked for a season there and reckoned he could still get lost. Off the piste at Whistler there is plenty to do, just remember to take plenty of cash with you as it is not cheap.

Resorts close to Whistler include: Callaghan Valley (12 km), Powder Mountain Catskiing (23 km), Backcountry Snowcats (55 km), Whitecap Alpine (68 km), Cypress Mountain (83 km),

Visitor Reviews of Whistler


Graeme from Australia writes:

It's big but only by North American standards. There are lots of areas in Europe that make Whistler Blackcomb look tiny. The terrain is wonderful but again there are a lot of places with fantastic terrain both in Europe and North America with much better lift systems and far better snow. Even in mid winter the snow just doesn't compare with the better European resorts, much less the sublime fluff you get in North America away from the coastal ranges. Add to all this a completely soulless village and high prices, and dreadful food; we won't be back. There are far better skiing experiences to be had in plenty of other places.
