Whistler Mountain has a top elevation of 7,160 ft/2,182 m and adjacent Blackcomb has a top elevation of 7,494 ft/2,323 m, making the combined resort a nirvana for alpine enthusiasts, who arrive from around the world. Add in world-renowned terrain parks, convenient on-hill lodges and even a mid-piste tree house complete with slides, and it's no wonder Whistler is in a class of its own. The fun in Whistler Village never stops. Snowboard and ski camps dominate the glacier in the summer, and travelers from around the world descend on the snowpack in winter. Open late November-early May, with Blackcomb Glacier open into the summer months, depending on weather. Lift tickets Can$83 adults, Can$71 seniors and youth, Can$44 children. Phone 604-664-5625.
