The slopes

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.
Ski Information 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.
Ski Information 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.
