Whistler Ski Resort Guide
Whistler Ski Resort Guide
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.

Visitor Reviews of Whistler

Rains all the time at Whistler-don't go!!
Just kidding.
You must try to come for a month or at least 2 weeks mid Feb to mid March. You will have 50% chance equally of sun and snow in a normal season.
The price we tend to pay for powder is bad, is small price to pay for most.
