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
glen from Canada writes:
$1300 for a season pass, bargain, considering most Australian resorts charge $1500 for 350m vert, 1/10th the snowfall, 4/5th the actual season length. Whistler is epic, do your research and know what to expect and you will love it.
