Whistler Blackcomb

Fabulous resort that is now the biggest in North America - and many say the best

The first lift at the stupendous Canadian resort of Whistler started rolling just 50 years ago this season - and from the very start it was a ski destination that thought big.

The aim then was to create a resort capable of hosting a Winter Olympic Games - a dream that was eventually realised in 2010. And the resort that we should now call Whistler-Blackcomb boasts North America's largest ski area (with 254 kms of runs) and, in the opinion of many, the best too.
