| Description |
Winter Activities:
When it comes to skiing and riding, Whistler Blackcomb has
variety and then some. Choose from steeps, deeps, chutes,
high alpine bowls, glades, superb corduroy, long cruisers,
and gentle rollers. Riders and skiers will revel in the Parks
and Pipes on both mountains plus natural launch pads, hits,
wind-lips, cornices, cliff drops, and ridges - the place is
like a huge, natural terrain park! When you have explored
the 8,000 plus acres of terrain on both mountains, head down
to the valley and experience Village life. When you come down
from the mountains, there's still plenty to do in Whistler.
Like restaurants, shopping, rest day activities, après
and nightlife action.
Summer Activities
You can be in the mountains—like those folks winding
along the highway down there—or you can be in the mountains,
like what you experience at Whistler Blackcomb in the summer.
At 6,000’, the adventure begins. Reach for the top with
the new Peak Adventure, enjoy a sunset mountain top BBQ or
why not take the kids to the Blackcomb Base Adventure Zone,
fun central for kids. Whatever you choose, Whistler Blackcomb
delivers - Above All.

Footsteps from the hill,
mountain views and ample patio space are characteristics of
Whistler's favourite après spots. Typically, there's
live music and plenty of people when the lifts close. Yet
après spots in Whistler are unique. Whether it's location,
music, food, or atmosphere that's important, there's an après
spot in Whistler to fit any skier or snowboarder's fancy.

Nightlife
After apres you may think you're going home to eat and change,
maybe grab a quick shower and then spend a night on the town.
Thing is, you're tired from a day on the slopes and once you
lie down on that sofa, you're done for. Don't go near the
sofa! The Whistler nightlife is worth it.
