amazing pre-book offers for lift passes and ski hire
Whistler has been ranked number 1 ski resort 12 years running and is also host to the 2010 Winter Olympics and is a unique ski village with a distinctively West Coast style, relaxed mood and spectacular skiing. The attractive pedestrianised village centre has pleasant walkways and plazas with stylish shops, a huge choice of great bars, clubs and restaurants. Designed by skiers, for skiers, everything you could possibly want from a ski holiday is right on your doorstep. Brand new this winter is the record breaking gondola joining Whistler and Blackcomb mountains and making it even easier to cover more of the two mountains.

The slopes
Beginners
Beautiful scenic runs gently meander down the mountain and finish off at the village so a well earned 'pick-me-up' will definitely be the order of the day.
Intermediates
Enjoy skiing on slopes groomed to velvety perfection and beautiful long cruising runs, not to mention the incredibly spectacular scenery. Take the Peak chairlift to the top of Whistler mountain and enjoy the blue Peak to Creek run.
Advanced
The 12 massive high alpine bowls offering endless off-piste challenges and oceans of powder. The 3 glaciers ensure 100% guaranteed snow all season. Recommended is the Blackcomb Glacier, accessed by Spanky's ladder and Whistler, West, Bagel and the new Flute bowls for some powder skiing.
Snowboarding
Riders are blown away by the wide choice of pipes and parks on both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. On powder days, riders normally head to the Peak Chair for the best turns.
