Whister-Blackcomb Mountain (Venue for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games)





There are multiple reasons why you should seriously plan on skiing or snowboarding whistler mountain, one being the 8000 acres of skiable terrain, rising a mile above the valley of Whistler.

Here are some points of why it is such an amazing destination:
  • Greatest vertical, usable terrain for skiing and snowboarding in North America.
  • Consistently ranked in the top 5 for North American resorts selected by industry magazines.
  • Best parks and pipes in North America.
  • Largest above tree line terrain and bowls in North America.
  • Long ski season with skiing and riding into July.
  • Amazing BC apres ski and nightlife.
  • World class shopping and dining.
  • Glacier skiing - the only resort in North America where you can ski or ride on a glacier, right in the heart of the BC mountains.
I have travelled to Whistler on many occasions, it makes for a great day trip from Vancouver. It has a pretty Australian feel, and is known for the place to go during Australia day. There are many bars and a great night life.

I added a few photos of my former coworker and I at the top of blackcomb and a chopper we snowboarded past! ~ V
