Summer 2011 Glacier Skiing & Riding
Blackcomb Mountain's Horstman Glacier is open for
sun-filled days of skiing and snowboarding in summer. Be sure to
pack sunscreen because the rays are hot.
- Summer skiing/riding is available in June and July. Dates for 2012 are TBA.
- Recommended for intermediate to advanced skiers/riders.
- Great opportunity to improve your park and bump skills.
Access to the Glacier in Summer
In order to access the glacier, skiers and snowboarders must upload on the Wizard
and Solar Coaster Express chairs then transfer to a bus which travels along Expressway
to the base of the 7th Heaven Express. Once at the top of the 7th Heaven Express,
skiers and riders can access the Horstman Glacier. Skiers and snowboarders take the
same route to get back down, or can use the ski-out from the glacier to the top of the
Solar Coaster as long as snow conditions permit.
Conditions may vary throughout the day, so be prepared. Bring sunscreen, goggles,
sunglasses, gloves and a jacket as the weather changes quickly in the alpine.
Please be advised that lift ticket passes for summer glacier skiing and
snowboarding are sold through Guest Services at Whistler Blackcomb
only. Call 1.800.766.0449 for more information.
