Whistler Blackcomb
The largest ski resort in North America, with two mountains, more than 200 runs, a vertical drop of about 1,600 metres, and the venue of the alpine skiing events at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The resort is made up of Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain. Its skiable terrain covers about 33 square kilometres, with green, blue and black runs and many alpine bowls. Beginners can practise in the Olympic and Magic Chair areas near the mid-mountain. Whistler Village, Upper Village and Creekside all have lifts up the mountain. Day-ticket prices vary a lot, so buying online in advance or getting an Epic Pass is better value. You can rent equipment and book ski lessons in the village. Be careful not to ski beyond the resort's boundaries.
