Whistler Blackcomb has North America's biggest ski area, with a pedestrian village, the Peak 2 Peak gondola and hot springs. Summer brings bike park, lake days and hiking.
Good to know
- Drive the Sea-to-Sky Highway in daylight; it's winding and often snowy in winter.
- Book lift tickets and lessons ahead for holiday weeks.
- Many hotels are slope-side; the village is walkable.
