Whistler-Blackcomb

Pros: Holy Smokes what a huge place!
Cons: Iffy Weather and Fog (so i am told)

I went to Whistler with no preconceived notions... I was going for a masters race, and decided to skip the Super G (equipment failure). This is not a review really.... It was a lesson confirmed on how to really see a mountain as exceptional as Whistler....

Pros: Beautiful new resort area, friendly folks, so much to do.
Cons: Can be expensive, sun doesn't always shine.

We just returned from Whistler, BC. I can only describe the trip as extraordinary. The most scenic way to get there would have to be by rail (BC Rail of Canada) from North Vancouver. The three hour ride is spectacular, the train personnel are friendly,...

Pros: Terrain, steeps, snow, lifts
Cons: Price, crowds

Disclosure: I live in Vancouver, so I'm a) relatively close to Whistler-Blackcomb (herewith "W-B") and b) paying in Canadian dollars. With that out of the way, herewith my thoughts ...

Overall
I love W-B. With two...

Pros: The most diverse ski experience anywhere. Incredible
Cons: Tough haul for those living on the East Coast

Whistler-Blackcomb is at the top of my list--and I mean the very top. It is the most incredible ski experience for the money--two mountains for the price of one.

I've been to Whistler-Blackcomb twice in the past three years and will not...

Pros: Great Variety, Good for All Ages, Nice Conditions, Nice & High
Cons: Slightly Slow Light Lines, Spoils You for Other Resorts!

I have been to Whistler/Blackcomb three times in my life, I'm 18 and have been skiing since I was 3 years old. Never once in my entire life have I been to a place like W/B. Every time I've gone there, it's gotten better, the town feels bigger and the...

Pros: Beautiful, diverse cultures, GREAT snow
Cons: Costly to live (and party)

Whistler- skiing, snowboarding, the World's Playground. Guess what? You DON'T need to be a skier to love Whistler- I'm not and I've been here for almost two years!

The people, the majestic mountains, the golf, the hikes, the fresh air. Who...

Pros: Snow almost year around, wonderful places to eat, lots of things to do for those who don't ski, great skiing, most everyone is happy to help you, wonderful free transportation, very beautiful place, package deals available, Canadian dollar weak, American d
Cons: Bus service from airport to hotel/condo not very good they take a long time to get you to your place, to far to drive back to Vancouver for a quick trip, getting back down the hill can take up to 4 hours if it's snowing, Limited parking for you own car, y

Whistler/Blackcomb Mt. In British Columbia Canada is a wonderful vacation resort for couples and families alike year round, but of course winter is the best for those ski buffs. We went last Feb. for one week. You can walk/ski to almost any lift from you...

Pros: everything
Cons: It is far away

Whistler and blackcomb are probably the best ski resorts. They are each huge and fun. There is a village-town at the bittem of the mountain. In there there is many places to eat and have fun. Also in Whistler-blackcomb it is hot and the snow doesn't...

Pros: Snow
Cons: Cost

If you want to continue believing that Whistler is a snow covered Disneyland don't read this...

I have lived in the mecca resort town of Whistler for twelve years in a row now. There used to be calm, slow, off-season days. Forget that now....

Pros: Bang for your Buck(USD converted to CDN)
Cons: Crowded sometimes.

This is a must experience! Now is the time to do it! With the Canadian dollar falling apart at the seams the Whistler experience can be taken in for a 50% discount by our friends to the south. There is so much to see and do in Whistler it is...

Pros: great powder, great runs, great mountain
Cons: over priced, snobby

Last January I spent 4 days in the wonderful Whistler/Blackcomb resort in British Columbia, Canada. It was my first time skiing in Canada, and I had the privilege of experiencing the best powder skiing that I have ever experienced in my entire life!
...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Rain? Maybe

Whistler is the premier attraction in North America right now. Last winter they had a record breaking one and a half MILLION people visit, and are preparing for at least half a million more this season. No other ski resort, including those in Colorado,...

Pros: lots of snow, great variety, village, night life
Cons: weather, not best for begineers

Whistler/Blackcomb has been frequently rated as the top ski resort in North America and I feel that it does to be highly rated. I first skied at Whistler in 1988 when it was not so well know internationally and was a fairly small ski town. (Short...

Pros: Everything's here
Cons: Somewhat costly

Whistler-Blackcomb is no doubt a world class resort. From the kind of runs to its facilities of all sorts, there is nothing missing. You can find McDonalds, KFC, anything from Italian to Japanese fine dining restaurants, and even shopping villages up...

Pros: Great skiing, countless lifts and runs, and an exciting village
Cons: None

Whistler-Blackcomb is one of my favorite places in all the world. Having gone there several times growing up, I have fond memories of skiing through great snow and hanging out in the village. The ski area is really 2 mountains in one. Both have great...
