Whistler-Blackcomb

Pros: Varied terrain, off-piste skiing, drive up from Vancouver on the Sea-to-Sky
Cons: Very popular with tourists, getting too commercial

I lived in Whistler for a ski season a couple of years ago and have skied there over 100 times in the past five years.

Without a doubt Whistler-Blackcomb is one of the top ski resorts in North America if not the world. The village offers the...

Pros: Great food, activities and views!!
Cons: Loud people at night, and expensive hotel accommodations

I went to Whistler in the summer! It's great even if you don't ski or snowboard. The weather is great!! You can wear pants, or shorts with a sweatshirt in the summer. There are spectacular views and trails to hike, cycle, jog, or whatever you choose....

Pros: ease of getting around, friendly people, cheap!! for Americans
Cons: getting enough attention in group ski school instruction

My trip to Whistler, BC in Feb-99 was one of the most incredible skiing vacations I have ever been on. The resort is easy to get to from Vancouver whether you are driving or taking the shuttle from the airport. A group of friends and I rented a house...

Pros: full facilities, and both summer and winter activities
Cons: Snow becomes slushy in the afternoon

I'm going to write about a great summer destination. Whistler-Blackcomb is even better in the summer than it is in the winter. There are tons of things to do around the area. You can go white-water rafting, golfing, canoeing, and hiking. Every...

Pros: fun, snow, food
Cons: money$$$$

spend hours skiing or snowboarding, yet never riding the same lift 2x. there is so much to do here. With all the nice hotels. and bars and resturants. you will never get bored, and always be having fun. But dont forget to bring your wallet. fun is not...

Pros: huge, extensive super steep terrain, nightlife
Cons: occasional rain up into the alpine, but its rare and not a big concern

I certainly haven't skied as many mountains as many of the reviewers on this site, but I have skied a fair amount. In my opinion, Whistler/Blackcomb is the number 1 ski resort in North America. The extensive terrain, huge vertical, great village and ...

Pros: scenery, resources, activities, diversity, food, lodging
Cons: expensive!

Last weekend my boyfriend and I decided to head up to Whistler for a much-needed vacation. For us (living only two hours away in Vancouver) it was the ideal location. If you are looking to go to Whistler, check the seasonal rates. We found a room in...

Pros: Lots of terrain, especially expert. Good powder up top. Relatively inexpensive ski-in/out lodging.
Cons: Lifts, layout, organization, variable conditions.

Overall Whistler is a good skiing mountain, but I was not overly impressed. We stayed a week during which over 200cm of snow fell and there was already a 180cm base. The main problem is that Whistler is poorly planned, organized and managed. There is ...

Pros: Scenery, skiing diversity, size, village, lifts, people
Cons: Travel time, can be expensive

Simply put, there is nothing that anyone could show you or tell you that would prepare you for the enormity of this ski resort. Until you've been here, looked across the valley at the OTHER mountain, and gotten the full effect of the view when the ...

Pros: Summer skiing, Skate park, mountain biking, village
Cons: none

I'm 16 years old and just returned from whistler.I went for 8 days to a ski camp. The Blackcomb glac ...

Pros: Splendid runs, alpine splendor, all the amenities, great exchange rate
Cons: Somewhat crowded during ski season

I've been here both in Summer and Winter. This is a very international little ski village situated at the base of both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. With a colorful, almost uptopian mix of languages and cultures, the village plays host to sightseers...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Couldn't find any

I never thought I'd enjoy a Christmas away from home, but Whistler has changed my mind. I can't wait for December so we can pack the kids in the car and head north once again. This place is so dang festive, you'll want to stay! We arranged to...

Pros: Snowboarding conditions are amazing, tons to do, friendly people, clean
Cons: Expensive!

People fear that I'm going to be spoiled for life, as the first time I ever went snowboarding was at Whistler-Blackcomb. I went there with my friend & her family, and we had a fabulous time! My friend & I did a 3-day beginner snowboarding school. The ...

Pros: THE ABSOLUTE BEST SKI RESORT IN THE WORLD
Cons: Drive...which is very scenic and relaxing anyway!!!!!!!!!1

When I first went to Whistler in the summer, I thought I would have seen all this before. Nice hikes in the mountains, fly fishing the in the streams, maybe some mountain biking, you know, the routine winter activity stuff. What I received, has...

Pros: too many to name
Cons: can be crowded fairly expensive

I am lucky enough to live within 2 hours of this spectacular mountain. I own a condo in Whistler village and often stat there for a week at a time during the ski season. It has to be one of the most beautiful spots on earth. The skiing is great and the ...
