About Whistler Blackcomb

Reigning over the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Whistler Blackcomb is the undisputed behemoth of North American skiing. Whistler Mountain originally opened in 1966, followed by Blackcomb in 1980; the two fierce rivals merged in 1997 to create a mega-resort that later hosted the alpine events of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Delivering a staggering vertical drop of 5,280 feet and consistently receiving over 400 inches of annual snowfall, it is a global bucket-list destination.

Terrain and Trails

Boasting a colossal 8,171 acres of skiable terrain, the two mountains are connected by the engineering marvel of the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola. The sheer scale is staggering: 32 lifts service 3 glaciers, 16 alpine bowls, and over 200 marked trails. Riders can test their endurance on Peak to Creek—a legendary top-to-bottom run stretching 7 miles—or tackle extreme, double-black chutes like Spanky’s Ladder and the Saudan Couloir.

Live Webcams & Weather

Use our live webcams to survey conditions across both massive peaks. From monitoring the alpine visibility at the Roundhouse Lodge to checking the snow stake for fresh accumulations, these feeds are essential. Always cross-reference the video with the real-time weather data above, as coastal storms can roll in quickly and drastically change the temperature.
