World renowned
Whistler Blackcomb is undoubtedly Canada's most famous resort.
And it's easy to see why - as North America's largest ski area, it
has first class ski and snowboarding conditions, masses of
fantastic runs, spectacular scenery and great nightlife.
Heavenly space
In 1997, the two previously separate ski areas of Whistler
and Blackcomb became integrated into one mega-resort.
With over 8,000 acres of glorious pistes, Whistler consistently
receives huge quantities of snow. The peak of Whistler is reached
by speedy quad chairs and, once you're at the top - the only way
back down is through beautifully broad and well pisted slopes.
Blackcomb is the location of the world famous 'Couloir Extreme',
which according to Skiing Magazine, is one of the top ten
best steep in-bound runs in the world.
Snowboarder's paradise
Snowboarding in Whistler Blackcomb is like no other resort. With
varied terrain, fabulously long runs and an abundance of snowboard
parks with ramps, rails and half pipes - you'll find a challenge to
test your skills whatever your level of ability.
A real life winter wonderland
Whistler Village is, quite simply, gorgeous. Packed with shops
and wonderful restaurants - there's plenty of après-ski to be
found. With pedestrianised streets and attractive squares, it's a
lovely place to explore.
Culinary delights
It goes without question that the mountains are home to splendid
snow, but you will also find superb restaurants with a wide choice
of delicious dishes. From noodles to pizza, your tastebuds will be
tantalised.
