Discover Whistler
Whistler Blackcomb is consistently ranked as North America's number one ski resort, and for good reason. With over 8,100 acres of skiable terrain across two massive mountains connected by the record-breaking PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, the resort offers an almost overwhelming amount of terrain for every ability level. The combination of reliable Pacific snowfall, long vertical drops, and immaculate grooming creates a skiing experience that's hard to beat.
Best Areas to Stay in Whistler
Whistler Village is a purpose-built pedestrian village at the base of both mountains, offering an unmatched ski-in/ski-out experience. Hotels along the Village Stroll are within steps of the Whistler and Blackcomb gondola base stations, meaning you can be on the slopes within minutes of stepping out your door. The village buzzes with energy from early morning to late night, with over 200 shops and 90 restaurants.
Where to Book in Whistler
Accommodation in Whistler Village proper offers the ultimate convenience, with direct access to both mountains and the full village amenities. Upper Village properties near the Blackcomb base area tend to be quieter and more upscale. Creekside, the original Whistler base area, offers a more laid-back atmosphere with its own gondola and a growing restaurant scene.
Things to Do in Whistler
Whistler's après-ski scene is legendary, rivalling anything in the European Alps. From the rooftop patio at the Longhorn Saloon to craft cocktails at the Bearfoot Bistro, the social scene extends well beyond the slopes. Non-skiing activities include the Scandinave Spa outdoor hot pools, ziplining through old-growth forest, snowmobiling, and the Audain Art Museum showcasing British Columbia art.
