Whistler Blackcomb Ranking #1 Ski Resort – Again!

With consecutive years of record breaking snowfalls (14 meters last season) and the legendary Canadian hospitality, Whistler Blackcomb is once again reigning on the ski resorts lists.

For the eleventh year in a row, the big mountain resort was rated first position from Skiing Magazine and received last year the prestigious British Travel Awards, among others.

Horse and dog sleigh rides, snowshoeing, ziplining, snowmobiling, ice-skating, backcountry excursions, but also spas, fitness and beauty centres… the possibilities are endless. Combine them with the fine dining, the nightlife and the picturesque scenic view, and you will understand why Whistler is number one.

The Olympic spirit has already kicked in, come share this amazing experience. Construction of Nordic and Alpine courses will be completed this fall. In time to host national and international competitions this season, as well as for you to test your abilities and snap photos to brag about on the courses bearing official signs.
And Whistler doesn’t rest on its laurels, the new icon of the mountain and of the country, the record breaking Peak to Peak Gondola, is under construction and will be finished in December 2008.
