Whistler Blackcomb (TSX: WB) is a major ski resort located 121 km north of Vancouver, in British Columbia, Canada. By many measures it is the largest ski resort in North America; it is 50% larger than its nearest competitor in terms of size, has the greatest uphill lift capacity, and until 2009, had the highest vertical skiable distance by a wide margin. Whistler Blackcomb also features the Peak 2 Peak Gondola for moving between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains at the top; Peak 2 Peak holds records for the highest and longest unsupported cable car span in the world. With all of this capacity, Whistler Blackcomb is also often the most-visited ski resort, often besting 2 million visitors a year.
Whistler was originally conceived as part of a bid to win the 1968 Winter Olympics. Although they lost the bid, construction started anyway and the resort opened for the first time in January 1966. Blackcomb mountain, originally a separate entity, opened for business in December 1980. The two resorts underwent a period of intense rivalry through the 1980s and 90s, with constant upgrades and improvements that was unseen at other resorts. By the mid-1990s the area was repeatedly named the best resort in many skiing magazines. Intrawest, the BC real estate firm that developed Blackcomb, purchased Whistler and fully merged their operations in 2003.

Video of our awesome vacation at Whistler for New Year's Eve. We skied and snowboarded on Whistler and Blackcomb, went tubing, had fun times in our cabin, enjoyed the Whistler Village, and had a great New Year's Eve. We stayed 5 nights and skied/ boarded 3 days. TOP TRAVEL TIPS: *Whistler is expensive and very busy. If possible, go during the off seasons (The locals told us February is not as busy and the snow is great). *Buy your lift tickets online as the savings are huge. *There are three options for places to stay that are on the lifts: Whistler, Upper Village, or Creekside. *Whistler and Upper Village are very busy but offer gondola options to Whistler and Blackcomb Mountain. *Creekside is very quiet and has the Creekside Gondola, which takes skiers up Whistler Mountain, with the ...
