Whistler Blackcomb
Two enormous mountains linked by the record-breaking Peak 2 Peak gondola, the biggest vertical in North America and a walkable purpose-built village at the base.
Terrain
More than 200 marked runs spread over two mountains, from enormous groomed cruisers on Blackcomb to steep alpine bowls, gladed tree runs and a long season on the glacier. Confident intermediates get the most out of it; experts head high for the alpine and the couloirs.
Best suited to: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert
