Whistler/Blackcomb,
is an internationally acclaimed, award winning winter resort only
two hours from Vancouver. A busy alpine village, with a truly cosmopolitan
feel, it offers a variety of excellent accommodation options, most
offering the convenience of Ski in, Ski out, along with great dining,
a vibrant nightlife, a selection of entertaining Apres Ski activities
and fantastic shopping
The skiing and boarding here is something
else. Two massive mountains with 15 high-speed lifts (plus 3 Gondolas
and 12 Quad chairs) offering both skiers and boarders excitement
and challenge.
The season here is long, with reliable snow
coverage and state of the art snowmaking facilities, which sees
people still on the slopes well in to June. One of the best things
about Whistler/ Blackcomb is the extensive network of trails, meaning
that you could easily ski or board all day and not take the same
run twice.
