Ski at Whistler Blackcomb
Length -
Whistler Blackcomb is considered one of North America’s premier mountain resorts—for good reason. A short, scenic 125-kilometre (78-mile) drive from Vancouver, this resort offers exceptional hospitality, a diverse cultural scene, and dramatic scenery. Two mountains, connected by the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, offer more than 200 marked runs, 16 alpine bowls, and three glaciers. Epic skiing, combined with a glamorous après scene and endless off-mountain activities, make this an unforgettable ski vacation.

- Jul 9, 2025: “Our six year old loved his Dfx mountain bike lesson with Zac. Looks like the group started with 6 or 7 kids but they later split up on ability. He was with one other kid and very excited when I rode by them. It was his first time on a suspension bike and third on a trail - other two flat and hard pack. Great way to learn when they won’t listen to dad. :). We finished the day after the lesson with a final fun together. Could have gotten two more in, but we were wiped!” 0

- Mar 22, 2025: “La verdad las pistas son más desafiantes que las montañas de Estados Unidos. La montaña es bastante más alta y más inclinada, mi instructor de ski y un esquiador local hicieron mencion y confirmaron que las pistas verdes son equivalentes a las pistas azules de otras montañas. Pero está super bien el servicio, como tienen todas las rutas bien señalizadas, los loft y las góndolas, disfrutamos mucho esquiar en esta montaña.” 2
