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.
Skiing on Blackcomb Mountain
Yesterday it was pouring rain in Vancouver but snowing hard up in Whistler for most of the day. Some hills had accumulations of over 15 inches of powder. What a treat! I just wish I’d been one of those first tracks skiers.
