Whistler Intermediate Skiing

Whistler Blackcomb is a huge, looming ski resort, with two mountains that share a large base village and are connected by the Peak 2 Peak Gondola. You could ski a new run every day for a month, and still hardly break the surface. And go figure, a whopping 55-percent of Whistler Blackcomb’s 8,171 acres is intermediate terrain. Intermediate skiers can get to the highest points on both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountain. When we say there’s nothing like Whistler intermediate skiing, we really mean it.
