Skiing/snowboarding
Whistler Blackcomb has been rated the #1 ski resort in North America, boasting more than 2,860 hectares (7,000 acres) of skiable terrain on two side-by-side mountains. Choose from steeps, deeps, chutes, high alpine bowls, glades, superb corduroy, long cruisers and gentle rollers.
Heli-skiing/snowboarding More extreme skiers/boarders can fly to untouched mountains coated with virgin white powder. Heli-skiing/riding requires participants to be of intermediate ability or better and in good physical condition.
Cross country skiing More than 28 kilometres (17.5 miles) of track-set cross-country trails wind through scenic trails. Additional track-set trails around the Whistler Golf Course offer an ideal beginners route.
Fresh Tracks breakfast Fresh Tracks offers early birds a mountain-sized breakfast buffet and early loading privileges. Upload to the Roundhouse Lodge on Whistler Mountain between 7:30 am and 8:30 am. As soon as Whistler Ski Patrol gives the okay on avalanche clearance, you are free to hit the open runs on the upper half of the mountain.
