Whistler ski information
A number of ski magazines consistently name Whistler as the best resort in North America, and it’s not difficult to see why. The two huge mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb, get over 10 meters of snow in an average season and it’s the largest ski area in Canada, dwarfing most of its competition. Couple that with the village at the base of the slopes which has more shops, restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs than you can shake a ski pole at! Whistler is a must on anyone’s tick list.
Representatives (Reps)
There will be no Crystal representatives in Whistler before 10th December but you can still enjoy that early season snow. Transfers are available as are pre-bookable ski packs. Full information will be sent out with your flight tickets.
Skiing and snowboarding in Whistler
Ski Information 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.
Ski Information 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.
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.
