Peak Leaders Whistler

Welcome to Whistler Blackcomb - the largest ski and snowboard area in North America and legendary party town. Your hosts Dahj and Claire will help you feel at home and show you all of the best powder spots. Our Whistler course offers the best value and the best time.

Resort Information

The car license plates in British Columbia have the tag ‘BC: The best place on earth’, and it’s easy to see why once you’ve spent some time in Whistler. It lies in the stunning Sea to Sky Corridor, with the ocean less than an hour away, meaning that the weather systems and huge snowfall keep on coming, right through until late May.

In 2010 Vancouver and Whistler hosted the Winter Olympic Games. This has left Whistler with some incredible facilities and a wider, faster highway from Vancouver.  The resort is spread over two enormous mountains with 5,000 feet each of vertical and a combined 7,000 acres of chutes, steeps and trees, with an average snowfall of 360 inches and 33 lifts making it North America's biggest powder destination and party town. It also has 5 terrain parks and unbeatable lift access to awesome terrain.

Whistler actually incorporates two mountains; Whistler and Blackcomb, which are opposite each other and on the same lift pass. Whistler Village is at the bottom of both mountains in the Valley floor and it is easy to ski & ride between the two. The incredible ‘Peak to Peak’ gondola now links the main bases at the top of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. It smashed all kinds of records one of which is its highest point above ground level being 436m/1427 feet! Riding the Peak to Peak gives you breathtaking views of the valley below and feels rather like flying in a plane.

In Whistler/Blackcomb you can enjoy all aspects of skiing and riding; whether it be wide corduroy runs, steeps, powder, moguls, glades or using one of the 5 different parks on the 2 mountains. Don't miss the fresh tracks breakfast pass which gives you access to first lifts and the best powder after fuelling up on a hot & cold buffet breakfast in the Roundhouse mountain restaurant.
