Whistler – Canada

Whistler Blackcomb is one of the most well known ski resorts in the entire world. Each winter more and more British skiers are choosing Whistler Blackcomb over closer European resorts. Why would you pay for the extra flight, burn up those carbon credits and face the crowds at 8.30am? The snow. Quite simply the snow record of the Pacific Northwest, and in Whistler, is on level unprecedented in Europe. Add that to a fully developed resort town with all the services and activities you could ever dream of and a service attitude that puts Europe to shame and you begin to get the picture.

Skiing from November to June

The ski season in Whistler Blackcomb is one of the longest in the world. Typically the mountains will open in mid-November with riding all the way through until the end of May. Then in the summer Blackcomb re-opens for a spot of summer glacier riding.

High quality instruction

Expert skiers will love the extent of the terrain on offer, novices will be equally impressed with the high standard of instruction in English, and snowboarders will be only too aware of the Blackcomb Nintendo terrain parks.

Whistler village is for people not cars!

Whistler Village is the central point and home to most restaurants and shops whilst Upper Village at the base of Blackcomb Mountain is quieter and home to plenty of exclusive hotels. The pedestrian-only village bustles all winter long and is particularly magical over the festive season.
