Summary
Major riding for all styles and all levels, especially backcountry and amazing park and pipes.But take note: lift queues can be very long, especially at Easter and Christmas. Great summer riding on Blackcomb Glacier.

ON THE SLOPES: Amazing
OFF THE SLOPES: Something for everyone
MONEY WISE: Expensive but worth it. To save on lift tickets stop at 7/11 in Squamish on the drive up - the deal here is not available in Whistler itself.
