Other ski resorts say they're big. Whistler/Blackcomb's combined 8,171 acres of terrain speaks for itself. There are rides, glides, steeps, deeps, chutes, bowls, glades, the best corduroy, long cruisers, high alpine, gentle rollers and glacier skiing here that is experienced nowhere else. Riders and skiers will shoot for the Super Park on Blackcomb, the World Cup Halfpipe, plus natural launch pads, hits, wind-lips, cornices, cliff drops, and ridges. This wonderland is like a huge natural terrain park!

Whistler/Blackcomb is famous for its mile-high vertical rise and exciting skiing experience. It’s the largest ski-able area in North America, with the most advanced high speed lift system featuring 15 Express lifts in a total system of 38 lifts and the new Peak-to-Peak Gondola connecting the nearly three-mile-span between Blackcomb and Whistler. 

There’s an extraordinary mile-high vertical, plus 12 incredible bowls, three glaciers, and more than 200 marked trails for endless enjoyment for all ages and skill levels. Transworld Snowboarding said, “Whistler Blackscomb has what no other resort in North America does -- unbeatable natural terrain and parks and pipes that hold their own.” There is a huge variety of fun-packed things for more entertainment: dogsledding, fishing, sightseeing, heli-skiing and boarding, (and the only “Rotor Quad in the world), horse-drawn sleigh rides, paragliding, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing. There is snowmaking, and a snow groomer that flies through the air! Whistler. The quintessential ski resort experience.
