2 WHISTLER WHAT S NEW IN WHISTLER FOR 2018/19 New 10 person Gondola, creating the world s first 3-gondola connection Emerald Express Chairlift Upgrade to a high-speed six pack Catskinner Chair Upgrade to a high-speed quad Size Matters the most terrain in North America. Consistent and reliable snowfall, your mountain playground. Famous for its charming village and West Coast friendliness, Whistler is considered the premier mountain destination in North America. Rising up one vertical mile from the valley are Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. The two mountains offer more than 8000 skiable acres running the gamut from gentle cruisers to steep bowls. Most guests choose to ski either Whistler or Blackcomb Mountain each day but the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola spans the distance between both mountains in a journey of just eleven minutes! This allows skiers and riders to maximize their day by moving quickly and effortlessly across the valley to the best snow and weather in each alpine area. Nestled at the base of the mountain is the pedestrian only village, which is alive with colourful shops, cosy restaurants and après ski fun, Whistler-style! No other resort offers so much choice and it s no wonder Whistler is consistently ranked #1 by the worldwide snow sports media.
