Whistler resort has once again – for the third consecutive year – been named No. I Overall Ski Resort in North America in the Ski Magazine resort survey and it is very easy to see why. The longest running resort survey in the ski industry also gave top marks to Whistler Blackcomb for terrain variety and off-hill activities, as well number two in lodging and number three in lifts, dining and terrain parks.
Whistler Blackcomb’s side-by-side mountains offer over 200 marked runs, 8,171 acres of terrain, 16 alpine bowls and three glaciers and they receive, on average, over 460 inches of snow annually. Due to open for the 2016-17 season on November 24, 2016, the first signs of winter are already apparent with snow reaching down to mid-mountain elevations. The Whistler ski season is one of the longest in North America.
Off the slopes, snowmobiling, tubing and snowshoeing are on offer and thrill-seekers will relish the 2-3 hour Ziptrek journey through the trees. Top it all off with a visit to one of the many restaurants and après spots and weekend visitors mustn’t miss the weekly Fire & Ice Show every Sunday.
