#1 in World for
high-speed lifts.

Whistler/Blackcomb may receive the most skier/boarder visits in North America, but our lift lines continue to be the shortest. SKI Magazine agrees. They rate Whistler/Blackcomb Number One in North America for lift lines in their 1998 rankings.

Rising one vertical mile from a village of award-winning West Coast architecture, Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains offer the greatest vertical rise of any ski area in North America, and its massive high-alpine terrain rivals the major ski resorts of Europe.

Whistler/Blackcomb now boasts 15 express lifts - the most in the world - in a total lift system of 33. There are also five different Mountain bases to speed up access to the alpine.

And if you are looking for nourishment while spending your day on the slopes of Whistler , you will never have to go far. Whistler and Blackcomb´s numerous restaurants will be sure to fulfill all culinary desires.
