Whistler/Blackcomb, BC is well known for its incredible skiing, immense size and varying terrain. Ski the powder bowls of Whistler in the morning and then the chutes on the sunny side of Blackcomb in the afternoon, then “cruise” all the way back to the base village and enjoy North America’s best Après Ski scene. Whether you ski or snowboard, Whistler/Blackcomb is a "bucket list" destination that must be experienced, and you will find yourself going back again, it's that good. Whistler is known for black diamond skiing, shopping and dining!
