Whistler-Blackcomb

Pros: Great sights, always something to do
Cons: somewhat expensive

When I first went to Whistler in the summer, I thought I would have seen all this before. Nice hikes in the mountains, fly fishing the in the streams, maybe some mountain biking, you know, the routine winter activity stuff. What I received, has me still...

Pros: Good powder, big and open
Cons: sometimes crowded

I skiied whistler/blackcomb in February of 2000 and it was great. It wasn't too crowded and it was nice and powdery! My family and I loved it.
There is an area in the mountain called the bowl. It is a wide open area on I think it is the back...

Pros: Unbeatable scenery/great alpine skiing
Cons: Lower part of mountains have wet snow

My wife,2 daughters(ages 12 and 8)and I visited Whistler/Blackcomb in April 98. We stayed at Delta Whistler for 6 nights and had a terrific vacation. We are intermediate skiers but found the mountains to be very enjoyable. Being able to ski blue runs...

Pros: Beautiful place, wonderful skiing
Cons: Too far away from my home on the East Coast

I was a little nervous going for a week to such a highly acclaimed spot as Whistler. After all, I'm fairly new to skiing. What a beautiful place it was to be a beginner! Firstly, there are green (easy) trails ALL OVER the mountain, including the top...

Pros: HUGE! right next to vancouver and the exchange rate rocks!
Cons: a lot of people during the holiday season

oh canada, the best resort in north america. very close to vancouver, whistler-blackcomb is party central of BC (good for students and friends). with two mountains that put all US resorts to shame, this place is great for spring break, christmas, and...

Pros: huge, fast lifts, great night life
Cons: very expensive, wet snow

Whistler is the biggest ski resort in North America. The actual size of the place must be experienced to be believed. Through my own experience I found the place to have excellent skiing and their is lots of terrain for any ability. One of the things...

Pros: POWDER, STEEPNESS, EXPERT to EASY RUNS, BUMPS, TERRAIN PARK
Cons: slushy snow near the base

My trip to this wonderful resort consisted of skiing, skiing, and more skiing. It was the best trip of my entire life. I visited Whistler-Blackcomb in March and had a great stay. Both of the mountains were beautiful. The first we woke up, hit the...

Pros: Great snow!!!
Cons: Long drive!!!

Whistler has the longest runs I have ever been on. The snow is perfect and the ride on the gondola at the halfway point is relaxing. The whole place is beautiful and is not very crowded. When we last went the sun was shining and the snow was...

Pros: wonderful views and great ski slopes
Cons: long lines at the bottom of the mountain

Whistler/Blackcomb is a trip you will never forget. My family(we have two daughters, a son and my husband) all loved it. We stayed in the Delta Whistler Hotel which was excellent with a very neat atmosphere. My family preferred Whistler over Blackcomb...

Pros: The destination resort for North America, spoils you for anything else.
Cons: Lack of sunshine, slushy snow at the base.

We have been to most Northwest/Rocky Mountain ski resorts over the past 20 years. Nothing compares to Whistler. The terrain is varied and expansive. The ski/board instruction is well organized and thorough. The accommodations, though small by Western...

Pros: Huge Mountain, Varied terrain, Lots of Snow, Amazing Views, etc.
Cons: Noisy Village

Well, where can I begin? I'd have to say my trip to Whistler- Blackcomb ski resort last Christmas break was the best ski trip I've ever been on. There are just so many great things about it. The mountain is huge, the terrain varies, the conditions are...

Pros: Powder, Great Weather, Great Terrain
Cons: I wish I was there now!

I have been to over 10 major mountain resorts to ski or snowboard, and this is one of my favorites. The terrain ranges from fairly easy to very extreme. This allows you to travel with people of any age or ability. I have been to Whistler/Blackcomb three...

Pros: Heaven
Cons: None

Whistler, British Columbia, in my opinion the best vacation spot on earth. I think I would rather be there than any place known to man. If heaven was on earth, it would be here. Whistler is packed full of fantastic slopes with fresh powder. In fact,...

Pros: First-rate slopes, beautiful scenery, exciting nightlife
Cons: a little more expensive than the average resort

Whistler is truly a winter wonderland. In recent years I have visited Wintergreen, VA, Aspen, CO, and Hunter, NY, but they can scarcely mimic the majestic slopes of the Whistler/Blackcombs.
I decided to take a vacation in Whistler this past...

Pros: Great ski conditions, wonderful accommodations
Cons: More people are knowing about this great package

John Lerias (July 2000)

Whistler-Blackcomb is THE BEST ski resort overall that we have stayed in our lifetime. We have been to Alta, Snowbird and Park City in Utah, Winterpark and Arapahoe Basin in Colorado, Mammoth, Squaw Valley, Alpine...
