Whistler Blackcomb is a year-round resort located in Whistler, Canada. Located a scenic two-hour drive north of Vancouver up the spectacular 'Sea to Sky' Highway, this resort is home to the continent's two greatest vertical-rise ski mountains – Whistler and Blackcomb. Over 17 alpine bowls, four glaciers, 200 trails, 8,171 acres of skiable terrain and a one mile vertical rise, the choices of where and what to ski/ride at Whistler Blackcomb from beginner to advanced terrain are staggering. In summer, Whistler Blackcomb is home to the gravity fueled Whistler Mountain Bike Park; known as the best lift-accessed downhill bike park on the planet. Meanwhile, alpine hiking and sightseeing in the summer is phenomenal with incredible vistas of the surrounding Garibaldi Provincial Park. With the landmark Peak to Peak Gondola opening in December 2008, the Whistler Blackcomb experience is set to elevate to new heights. Joined at the base by a vibrant pedestrian village filled with restaurants, patios, cafes, shops, galleries and spas, and surrounded by breathtaking scenery, this four season resort is spectacular.
