“Today’s skiers are demanding more from their ski vacations, looking for a wide range of amenities on and off the snow,” says Allen Crolius, publisher of SKI Magazine. “Whistler Blackcomb, with
fantastic skiing across two mountains, and
vibrant base villages, delivers on all
fronts, earning its No. 1
ranking in SKI Magazine’s
annual survey.”
The resort has already seen the first signs of winter with snow reaching down to mid-mountain elevations. Upgrades to the resort this season include newly renovated patios outside of the Roundhouse Lodge and the Garibaldi Lift Company, and a much improved beginner experience in the Olympic Zone complete with two new covered carpet lifts, regraded terrain, an improved snowmaking system and a new gourmet grilled cheese hut.
Whistler Blackcomb is officially scheduled to open for the 2016-2017 winter season on November 24, 2016
