Whistler-Blackcomb Skiing

PinExt Whistler Blackcomb Skiing

If you’re getting this blog and you’re a skier and you live close to Whistler, then I highly recommend including Whistler-Blackcomb in your Christmas holiday plans, even for a day. The skiing is truly outstanding this year, putting the fun back into the sport. Over 8000 acres offer plenty of choice for all levels of skiers. Whistler-Blackcomb has North America’s biggest vertical drop and the longest gondola ride.

You’ll help keep the winter blahs at bay with a healthy dose of exercise and fresh air. So forget the shopping and get yourself to the mountain. You’ll put a smile on your face! Get up here early. In December, many of the ski lifts are closed by 3:30pm as darkness comes early.
