  1. Tips for Your Day at Whistler Blackcomb

  2. Whistler Blackcomb is a huge place. If you arrive without a plan, you may end up heading to a less-than-ideal spot, suffering from poor weather and crowds, and missing some of the top attractions. Knowing what to do before you arrive will increase the chances you have a fantastic time.

  3. Take the Excalibur Gondola First Most people arrive at Whistler and go straight to Whistler Village Gondola. The result is that everyone is heading to the same place and they all need to line up to wait. A better option is to take the Excalibur Gondola to Blackcomb. There, you can choose from three different chairlifts. Try to get there as early as possible — open time is 8:30 AM.

  4. Take the Singles Line No matter if you’re alone or with others, you should load in the singles line. As it moves much faster, you’ll get more out of your day.

  5. Find Some Peace and Quiet at Lunchtime Most people head to the lodges around lunchtime. A better option is to head to the Peak 2 Peak Gondola and enjoy the views. Bring a snack and relax for the 11-minute journey.

  6. Take in the Scenery from the 7th Heaven Summit The best place of all for views is 7th Heaven. Most impressive are the slopes into the Lakeside Bowl under Blackcomb Peak. There are also many blue runs to choose from that face Whistler Peak.

  7. Take the Alpine Zone Chairlifts For more great scenery, you have the Harmony 6 Express and Symphony Express. Harmony has the longer, more vertical slopes and terrain. You can easily spend a good part of the day there.

  8. Challenge Yourself If you’re looking for a thrill, take the Peak Express. The lift goes to the top of Whistler Peak, where you can access the famous Peak to Creek run. This is almost 7 miles long and includes a 5,000-foot vertical drop. For the even more adventurous, there are many double-diamond runs off the Peak Express.

  9. Bonus Tip: Rent Your Equipment There’s no need to arrive with your own equipment. You can find everything you need from ski rentals in Whistler.

  10. Whether you usually snowboard and want to try skiing for the first time, you’re interested in trying out new gear, or you just want to ensure that you’re properly equipped for any weather conditions you encounter, head to a Whistler snowboard shop and/or ski shop for everything you need.
