Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort Overview
Within British Columbia’s glacial climate and scenic beauty resides Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. The impressive 8,171 acres of accessible terrain is serviced by 36 lifts and the longest continuous lift system on the globe, PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, which connects skiers and riders from Whistler to Blackcomb Mountains.
Whistler was originally conceived as part of a bid to host the 1968 Winter Olympics. Although the bid was ultimately unsuccessful, construction began, and the resort opened in 1966. After years of expansions and a merger with Blackcomb Mountain, Whistler was awarded the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in association with Vancouver.
There are over 18 restaurants between the two mountains, ensuring that you don’t have to waste time going into Whistler to find food. Also, for those who want to extend their ski season, Blackcomb offers summer skiing and riding in June and July.
Whistler is located about two hours from Vancouver. The easiest way to get there is by car. You can fly into Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Once you get to Vancouver, you can take the Rocky Mountaineer Whistler Sea to Sky climb train or bus to get to the resort. You could also rent a car or look into rideshare options.
