SKIING AT WHISTLER BLACKCOMB
Just a scenic 25 minute drive south to Whistler is one of the best ski resorts in the world (but you probably already knew that). Whistler Blackcomb needs no introduction, and with over 8000 acres of skiing with something for everyone, it is an endless playground whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced shredder.

We highly recommend hiring a guide to show you the area and keep you safe during your adventure. If you’re feeling super adventurous, Blackcomb Helicopters offers Heli Skiing with access to spectacular terrain.
