Whistler Ski Holidays

For intermediates, Whistler Blackcomb ski resort is a playground like no other, with extensive terrain that includes long cruising groomed trails through the trees and beautiful blues on the Horstman Glacier which dazzle in the sun. Some good off-piste can be found amongst the ridges and bowls across Whistler Mountain, and there are incredible views from blue trails in the same area. Experts will love the steeper bowls and gullies available and the resort’s many green and nursery slopes make it perfect for beginners.

Whistler Blackcomb’s snow school is available on both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, and standards are very high. They offer a full range of well-defined programmes for women only and skiers with disabilities as well as the usual child and adult courses. The ski school here also offers Bump Clinics and Powder Workshops, not to mention Snowboard Camps geared to all levels of riders. Free guided tours are offered daily on both mountains by the local ‘Mountain Hosts’.

On the Mountain:

Roundhouse Lodge – the main hub on Whistler Mountain, the lodge accommodates 1,750 guests and offers dishes for all to enjoy.

Christine’s on Blackcomb – For a more refined on-mountain experience, Christine’s offers locally sourced ingredients, seasonal specialities and an extensive wine list.

Raven’s Nest – Known for being the mountain’s vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurant, the Raven’s Nest’s menu focuses on fresh, plant-based dishes that don’t compromise in flavour.

In the Village:

Wild Blue – one of Whistler’s fine dining experiences, Wild Blue has quickly become popular for its Pacific Northwest cuisine. The menu features sustainable seafood and fresh, regional ingredients, complemented by a sophisticated yet relaxed ambience.

Araxi – almost certainly the best restaurant in town, this is a brilliantly designed, modern Italian that specialises in seafood and Pacific Rim dishes.

Mongolie Grill – great for groups, Mongolie Grill lets its customers build their own stir-fry from a range of fresh meats, seafood, vegetables and sauces. It’s not only fun but also delicious!

Splitz Grill – A favourite amongst skiers, Splitz Grill is the go-to place for a rich gourmet burger in Whistler.

Non-skiers in Whistler are not short of choice. Whistler village has plenty to explore with its local art, music and culture. Additionally, non-skiers are also able to venture up Whistler Blackcomb mountains with the PEAK 2 PEAK Sightseeing Experience. Other winter activities are also available such as snowmobiling and even bobsleighing at the Whistler Sliding Centre.
