As the official alpine sports venue for the 2010 Winter Olympic and Para-Olympic Games and arguably North America's favourite alpine playground, Whistler Blackcomb leaves nothing to be desired. The resort is world-renowned, and visitors congregate from all four corners of the world to experience Whistler's fantastic skiing and snowboarding, as well as the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding peaks.
With over 8,100 acres of ski terrain across two mountains connected by a picturesque pedestrian village and the Peak 2 Peak gondola, you'll find over over 200 trails, 38 lifts, 12 alpine bowls, and one vertical mile of skiing. It's no wonder Whistler has become a mecca for boarders and skiers alike. Whistler Blackcomb receives 10.42 metres (410 inches) per year of beautiful snow, and the skiing is great well into the spring months.
