Tips for Your Day at Whistler Blackcomb

Tips for Your Day at Whistler Blackcomb
2

• Whistler Blackcomb is a huge place. If you
  arrive without a plan, you may end up heading to
  a less-than-ideal spot, suffering from poor
  weather and crowds, and missing some of the top
  attractions. Knowing what to do before you arrive
  will increase the chances you have a fantastic
  time.

3
Take the Excalibur Gondola First

• Most people arrive at Whistler and go straight
  to Whistler Village Gondola. The result is that
  everyone is heading to the same place and they
  all need to line up to wait. A better option is
  to take the Excalibur Gondola to Blackcomb.
  There, you can choose from three different
  chairlifts. Try to get there as early as possible
  open time is 830 AM.

4
Take the Singles Line

• No matter if youre alone or with others, you
  should load in the singles line. As it moves much
  faster, youll get more out of your day.

5
Find Some Peace and Quiet at Lunchtime

• Most people head to the lodges around lunchtime.
  A better option is to head to the Peak 2 Peak
  Gondola and enjoy the views. Bring a snack and
  relax for the 11-minute journey.

6
Take in the Scenery from the 7th Heaven Summit

• The best place of all for views is 7th Heaven.
  Most impressive are the slopes into the Lakeside
  Bowl under Blackcomb Peak. There are also many
  blue runs to choose from that face Whistler Peak.

7
Take the Alpine Zone Chairlifts

• For more great scenery, you have the Harmony 6
  Express and Symphony Express. Harmony has the
  longer, more vertical slopes and terrain. You can
  easily spend a good part of the day there.

8
Challenge Yourself

• If youre looking for a thrill, take the Peak
  Express. The lift goes to the top of Whistler
  Peak, where you can access the famous Peak to
  Creek run. This is almost 7 miles long and
  includes a 5,000-foot vertical drop. For the even
  more adventurous, there are many double-diamond
  runs off the Peak Express.

9
Bonus Tip Rent Your Equipment

• Theres no need to arrive with your own
  equipment. You can find everything you need from
  ski rentals in Whistler.

10

• Whether you usually snowboard and want to try
  skiing for the first time, youre interested in
  trying out new gear, or you just want to ensure
  that youre properly equipped for any weather
  conditions you encounter, head to a Whistler
  snowboard shop and/or ski shop for everything you
  need.
