The 216km of pistes cover two mountains & are linked by an impressive high-speed lift system. Whether a complete novice or a downhill Olympian, there is an amazing choice of well laid out, maintained & signposted slopes. Beginners learn quickly with excellent tuition while intermediates & advanced skiers & boarders revel in the sheer variety of piste & deep powder bowls available.

The accommodation Nelson feature is in one of the two most conveniently located, pedestrianised village areas, each lying at the foot of their respective mountain & a short ten minute walk apart. Both Blackcomb & Whistler Villages are teeming with shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars & clubs & there are many exciting on & off slope activities to try out. It’s a party town with a relaxed west coast buzz & a roaring après-ski scene.
