Whistler Mountain
Whistler
Mountain. It almost sounds like a best-selling fiction novel. But it's a real
place, with real experiences just waiting to make your most fantastic ski
dreams a reality. It's an enchanting, friendly place, located in the cleanest,
clearest air on the planet. And in the most breathtakingly beautiful land
there is – Whistler-Blackcomb, British Columbia.
It's the ultimate mountain skiing adventure.
Imagine an authentic Swiss alpine village nestled in the mountains. Whatever images its very name conjures up, it gets even better than that. Better because not only is it naturally awesome, it's the top ski resort destination in North America. Now let me tell you a little bit about the mountains themselves.
Blackcomb and Whistler mountains deliver the best alpine experience on earth.
With access to about 8,000 acres of combined ski worthy terrain served by
33 lifts - including 12 high-speed quads and 3 gondolas - and containing more
than 200 trails, every skier from beginner to pro will be challenged and provided
non-stop variety. The highest lift-accessed elevation is 7,494 feet, while
the village elevation stands at 2,214 feet, with a base rise of 2,140 feet.
The lifts are designed using the best technology known to modern ski buffs,
with the capacity to serve more than 59,000 skiers an hour!
And you'll love the weather here in Canada when it comes to Wistler-Blackcomb
skiing. Highs in the Whistler mountain area average about 25 degrees in winter
– perfect for prime snow conditions, during the summer months it rises
to around 75 degrees. The valley gets an average of about 30 feet of natural
snowfall annually, keeping the mountains completely drenched in fresh powder
snow.
With 1,100 feet of new terrain, and with $14.2 million dollars worth of recent improvements to the mountain, the skier and freerider alike will leave Whistler mountain feeling exhilarated and refreshed. And isn't that what vacations are all about? There's a new Superpipe to freeride, the new Flute Bowl featuring 700 new inbound acres, lots of open space, with fewer people, allowing you to experience the exhilaration of the backcountry without ever crossing resort boundaries. For kids and novices alike, there are 700 feet of Magic Carpet at Olympic Station. Soon, children will let their imaginations run wild at a kids-only tree house adventure in the Emerald Forest on Whistler Mountain, currently in the works, as well as other renovations. And there are plenty of off and on-mountain accommodations to choose from that will prove relaxing and convenient while meeting your family's lifestyle and budget.
Ski Blackcomb and Whistler mountains for an experience of a lifetime. Don't
wait to fulfill your dreams. Book your next ski
vacation today.
