What's New on the Mountains

Whistler Blackcomb Welcomes Summer with New Alpine Adventures

Whistler Blackcomb officially kicked off its summer operations on Friday, May 16 with a refreshed lineup of alpine experiences, including two exciting new offerings. From May 31 to June 29, Whistler Blackcomb is partnering with Tourism Whistler to bring the Nourish Whistler Wellness Series to the top of Whistler Mountain. A geometric dome will be installed on the observation deck of the Roundhouse Lodge, where guests will be able to immerse themselves in a variety of experiences, including yoga, guided meditations, sound baths, live music, speaker sessions, and culinary workshops.

Also new to the Summer Alpine Experience, starting June 14, Forged Axe Throwing will introduce an exciting new challenge to Whistler’s alpine, with two axe-throwing stations. Every Friday through Sunday, guests aged 10 and up will be able to test their aim with this fun and classic Canadian activity.

Whistler is stoked for another summer of legendary laps in the Whistler Mountain Bike Park. New this year, guests can look forward to a range of updates including a new access point to Zone 2 A-Line and Ninja Cougar, an alternate exit for BCC trails in Creekside, an extension of Pumpkin Moon, upgraded wall rides on Crank It Up thanks to SRAM / RockShox, plus a refreshed Commencal rental fleet with bold new colourways.

Returning this year are the always-popular Phat Wednesday races, the BC Cup, Canada Cup and, of course, Crankworx Whistler — the world’s biggest celebration of gravity-fuelled mountain biking, which has moved back to August. View all bike events

PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola will operate on weekends starting May 17. Blackcomb Gondola will open for the May long weekend before closing for regularly scheduled maintenance until mid-June.
