Whistler Blackcomb

The Coast Mountains are a magnet for Pacific storms, which bring an average of over 10.3 meters (34 feet) of snowfall annually to Whistler Blackcomb. This reliable snowpack contributes to the resort's incredible conditions and terrain diversity. Skiers and riders can enjoy vast alpine bowls, perfectly groomed runs, ancient glaciers, and forested glades that stretch across both mountains. Whistler Blackcomb's size and variety ensure that there is something for everyone—from wide-open beginner trails to steep and challenging expert routes.
