Whistler and Blackcomb mountains provide superb skiing and boarding for all levels and with an average of 10m of snow each season, the off-piste is some of the best in the world.

Whistler is one of the largest ski resorts in North America in terms of skiable terrain and is geared towards the intermediate skier with over half of the trails being graded as Red.

Many of the pistes flow directly in to the village with it's lively apres-ski, cafes, bars, restaurants and shops.

It is also an excellent resort for families with specific kid friendly areas such as...

• The Magic Castle on Blackcomb and Tree Fort on Whistler are play areas for the children so if they feel like a break from skiing, these are the places to head to and can be reached by green runs


• The Coca-Cola Tube Park is at the Base 2 Zone on Blackcomb Mountain. The Tube Park has 8 lanes with some gentle blue runs right up to the bumpy difficult black. Children under 12 must ride with an adult
