Whistler Blackcomb Winter Lift Tickets & Passes

*All Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass prices are listed in Canadian Dollars.

Yes, you can purchase same-day lift tickets online or at the resort ticket window, but there is a chance the resort could be sold out. For the biggest savings, purchase online, at least 7 days in advance of your visit.

To ensure the best on-mountain experience for our guests this winter, we are limiting lift tickets every day throughout the 2024/25 season. While we do not anticipate every day will sell out, we encourage guests who are planning to visit this season to secure their lift access in advance. Lift ticket availability is visible on Whistler Blackcomb's winter lift ticket web pages. If lift tickets are sold out on a specific day, that day will show as unavailable.

No, when you purchase your lift ticket, it is for a specific resort and specific date, and therefore there is no need to make any further reservation.

We expect lift tickets will sell out on select days throughout the season. If you have not secured your lift tickets before visiting, there is a chance you would be unable to ski during your trip. We strongly recommend that you secure your lift tickets as soon as possible to ensure you can ski your desired days.

If your plans change, your lift ticket is refundable (terms apply). Any unused days on your lift ticket are fully refundable until 5 PM PST on the last day of your ticket. For example, if you buy a ticket dated February 1st-5th, you have until 5 PM PST on February 5th to request a refund for any unused days on your ticket.

No, lift tickets are non-transferrable. Lift tickets are only available for the ticketed guest name and for the date you purchased.

No, if a specific day at a specific resort sells out online, lift tickets will not be sold at resort ticket windows unless purchased with a Pass Holder benefit ticket (Buddy tickets or Ski With A Friend tickets) or through ski and ride school. Availability will be updated online if there are any lift ticket cancellations.

Guests purchasing the Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass in advance of the season will lock in an incredible discount of up to 65% over window lift ticket prices, while customizing their trip by selecting the number of days they plan to ski or ride – from one day to ten days – and whether to add access during peak holiday periods. The discount for Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass increases with each additional day a guest skis or rides. Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass purchasers can use their days throughout the season at Whistler Blackcomb, consecutively or non-consecutively.

The Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass is a pass product that provides expanded value and flexibility over lift tickets. With savings of up to 65% as compared to lift tickets for guests purchasing in advance of the season, the Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass also offers flexibility to choose when you ski or ride throughout the season and doesn’t need to be used consecutively, whereas lift tickets must be used on specific dates.

Epic Coverage is included FREE (for all pass holders including Day Pass products) during the Core Season (December 7, 2025 - April 17, 2026) and provides refunds associated with certain personal events, including illness, job loss and injury. It also expands coverage to protect you from certain resort closures. Beyond this coverage, all Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass products are non-transferrable, non-refundable and are bound by the Whistler Blackcomb Season Pass and EDGE Card Cancellation policy.

Epic Coverage is included FREE (for all pass holders including Day Pass products) during the Core Season (December 7, 2025 - April 17, 2026) and provides refunds associated with certain personal events, including illness, job loss and injury. It also expands coverage to protect you from certain resort closures. Beyond this coverage, all Epic Pass products are non-transferrable, non-refundable and are bound by the Epic Pass product Cancellation policy.

There are still options available to enjoy the mountain at a discounted rate if you run out of days on your Epic Day Pass. If you plan to ski or ride additional days, you can show your pass at the resort ticket window to purchase lift tickets at the Advanced Lift Ticket rate*. You can also use this benefit to purchase lift tickets at the resorts your Epic Day Pass has access to on holiday-restricted dates. Purchase your discounted lift tickets at the mountain; online purchases may not accurately reflect the discounted rates, and guests who purchase online may need to visit a ticket window to obtain a refund for additional savings.

*Actual discount rate varies by resort and day.
