Whistler Blackcomb Trail Map
Whistler Blackcomb’s terrain is spread across two massive mountains, offering 3,307 hectares of skiable area and a vertical drop of 1,609 meters. The resort’s base elevation is 675 meters, with the summit reaching 2,284 meters. Snowmaking covers key zones, and the average annual snowfall of 323 inches ensures consistent conditions. With 295 trails and 26 lifts, the resort caters to every type of skier, from first-timers to seasoned experts.
Whistler Mountain is known for its expansive bowls and scenic cruisers. Beginners will appreciate the Olympic Station area, which features gentle slopes and dedicated learning zones. Runs like Ego Bowl and Pony Trail offer wide, forgiving terrain with easy lift access. The Emerald Express and Big Red Express lifts serve much of the beginner and intermediate terrain on Whistler’s lower slopes.
Intermediate skiers will find plenty to explore on both mountains. On Whistler, Harmony Ridge and the runs off Symphony Express offer long, rolling descents with stunning alpine views. Blackcomb’s Seventh Heaven zone is another favorite, with blue runs like Cloud Nine and Rock’n’Roll providing smooth, sun-drenched skiing. These areas are well-groomed and offer a great balance of challenge and comfort.
Advanced terrain is abundant, with Blackcomb’s Glacier Express accessing high-alpine bowls and technical descents. Runs like Arthur’s Choice and Jersey Cream Bowl offer steep pitches and natural features. Whistler’s West Bowl and the terrain off Peak Chair provide similar thrills, with chutes, ridgelines, and off-piste options for confident skiers.
Expert skiers gravitate toward areas like Spanky’s Ladder on Blackcomb, which leads into Sapphire, Garnet, Diamond, and Ruby Bowls. These zones require bootpacking and offer steep, ungroomed terrain with deep snow and dramatic views. Saudan Couloir, accessed via Seventh Heaven Express, is another standout—a steep, narrow chute that challenges even the most experienced riders.
Freestyle riders will enjoy five terrain parks spread across both mountains. The Nintendo Terrain Park on Blackcomb features progressive lines for all skill levels, while Whistler’s Habitat Park includes rollers, hips, and rails for intermediate riders. The resort also boasts a superpipe and 50 park rails, making it a top destination for freestyle skiing and snowboarding.
