Whistler-Blackcomb

Pros: Beautiful fluffy snow, varied terrain, apres-ski, cost
Cons: Can be crowded at very peak times, excellent lodging is pricey.

It was amazing how lucky we got when we showed up for Spring Break in Blackcomb village. There were 7 guys, from all over the US, coming together at the Woodrun condo, an awesome place that is ski-in ski-out to Blackcomb base. The condo itself, while...

Pros: Variety, beautiful
Cons: Can be expensive

Great steep well moguled double diamond trails, easily assessable, large (If often overused) backcountry, some reasonable glade skiing all right next to novice and family oriented groomed hills.
Whistler and Blackcomb offer a variety of all...

Pros: Heaven
Cons: None

Whistler, British Columbia, in my opinion the best vacation spot on earth. I think I would rather be there than any place known to man. If heaven was on earth, it would be here. Whistler is packed full of fantastic slopes with fresh powder. In fact,...

Pros: wonderful views and great ski slopes
Cons: long lines at the bottom of the mountain

Whistler/Blackcomb is a trip you will never forget. My family(we have two daughters, a son and my husband) all loved it. We stayed in the Delta Whistler Hotel which was excellent with a very neat atmosphere. My family preferred Whistler over Blackcomb...

Pros: great skiing
Cons: none

I went on a trip to Whistler and Blackcomb about to years ago. When I got to the resort I stayed, I said to myself why is it so warm. I froze my can off in banff, and this is so warm. The reason for this is that I was so close to the ocean, but who...

Pros: massive terrain, great skiing
Cons: expensive lodging

yes...nothing compares to the skiing at Whistler/Blackcomb....There is a reason that this picturesque B.C. resort captures the #1 rating year after year.

The ski terrain has no equal in North America. With ski runs that just wont quit (even...

Pros: Trails, Snow, Food services, Ski School, Village, Lifts, Scenery
Cons: Getting there, Weather, Crowded

Every year for the past seven years my family and I take a ten day trip to Whistler/Blackcomb. We were first alerted of the mountain's existence by a friend. He told us that it was absolutely amazing experience. He went on to say how the...

Pros: ease of getting around, friendly people, cheap!! for Americans
Cons: getting enough attention in group ski school instruction

My trip to Whistler, BC in Feb-99 was one of the most incredible skiing vacations I have ever been on. The resort is easy to get to from Vancouver whether you are driving or taking the shuttle from the airport. A group of friends and I rented a house...

Pros: Huge peaks, romantic, great nightlife
Cons: can get expensive, so watch your budget

I first went to Whistler two years ago for a week long getaway with my wife, and we absolutely adore it. We loved it so much that we went back the next year, and plan to go back in the years to come. The skiing offers a wide variety of runs, for a wide...

Pros: Holy Smokes what a huge place!
Cons: Iffy Weather and Fog (so i am told)

I went to Whistler with no preconceived notions... I was going for a masters race, and decided to skip the Super G (equipment failure). This is not a review really.... It was a lesson confirmed on how to really see a mountain as exceptional as Whistler....

Pros: Everything
Cons: line ups can get long sometimes, but if your like me, I know where to go when they get bad :P suckers

I live in Vancouver and I am lucky enough to go skiing at Blackcomb every weekend! I've been to many other mountains and nothing else compares...The jump park is one of the best anywhere, with jumps for intermediate and expert skiers. New to this year...

Pros: Great slopes for all levels, awesome village for evening time.
Cons: EXPENSIVE!

In Seattle you hear about Whistler all the time, so I was so excited when my friend and I planned a trip up there. The hotels are pretty nice, but you wont spend a whole lot of time in them. The village outside of the hotels is so fun and pretty and...

Pros: Great food, activities and views!!
Cons: Loud people at night, and expensive hotel accommodations

I went to Whistler in the summer! It's great even if you don't ski or snowboard. The weather is great!! You can wear pants, or shorts with a sweatshirt in the summer. There are spectacular views and trails to hike, cycle, jog, or whatever you choose....

Pros: beautiful scenery, pleasant atmosphere
Cons: high priced, treacherous driving conditions to get there

Blackcomb was everything one hopes for in a ski resort. We went in December with my husband and out two young girls and a babysitter. While we were there the weather was rather warm considering where we were.

As far as ski conditions, there...

Pros: Both are excellent
Cons: Vail is expensive!!!

My wife and 2 daughters, ages 10 and 13, visited Vail last year. We also visited Whistle/Blackcomb in April, 2000. Both were outstanding visits but I was interested to note differences as Vail is rated the No 2 in North American ski resorts and W/B is...
