Whistler Blackcomb Skiing
Spring skiing and snowboarding is now closed for the season but if you can’t bear to put those skis or snowboard away yet, Blackcomb Mountain’s Horstman Glacier opens for summer skiing and riding starting June 20 until July 26. There’s a wide variety of summer Glacier Camps available for all ages and abilities. Add lift tickets to your accommodation booking and we’ll deliver them right to your room free of charge!
Pristine powder, spectacular terrain, the freshest tracks
If
acres and acres (more than 8,100!) of lush, snow-covered terrain is your idea
of paradise, then grab your skis and find your bliss. With an annual average
of 33 feet (10 metres) of snowfall, 200+
trails, more than 17 alpine bowls filled with powder, 38 lifts, amazing
terrain parks, four glaciers and a one mile vertical rise of corduroy, chutes
and pillow lines, there’s a reason Whistler is consistently voted the
number one ski resort in North America. Add in a vibrant pedestrian-only alpine
village, luxurious accommodation, divine dining and
lively après options and you’ll want
every day to be a snow day.

Want More?
When it comes to skiing, you’ll always get more in Whistler. More deep and steep alpine bowls, more smooth corduroy cruisers, more runs from green to double black diamond and more high-speed lifts, including the brand new record-breaking PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola.
When the sun sets and you’ve taken off your skis for the day, enjoy more fun in the Village with a staggering selection of restaurants, bars, lounges, pubs, spas, shops and activities.
Telemark Skiing
Telemark skiing is a back-to-basics hybrid between cross-country and downhill skiing with a distinguishing knee-bending movement. Graceful and challenging, it allows you to experience the mountains the way they were intended. It is a daring alternative to regular mountain sports. Rent equipment, or take a lesson and learn an impressive new skill. Whistler Blackcomb offers private, one-on-one telemark instruction daily.
