Whistler Blackcomb has claimed the title of “Favorite Overall Resort” in OnTheSnow.com’s Visitors Choice Awards for the second year in a row. The Awards are an annual list of favorite resorts as ranked by user ratings from the site’s 3.4 million monthly unique visitors.
Whistler Blackcomb received high praise from OnTheSnow users. One voter stated: “I’ve skied Whistler in multiple visits, from deep winter to true spring conditions and have had a blast every moment,” while another wrote, “Major vertical, so much space, immaculate facilities, great staff. If you love the slopes, this place is a must.”
Users rated resorts across North America on a scale of one to five in five categories: overall experience, nightlife, family-friendliness, downhill terrain and terrain park. For the Visitors Choice Awards, the OnTheSnow.com team picked the resorts with a minimum number of reviews and the top average score in each category to receive honours. OnTheSnow.com honoured each of the winners on April 6 at the Mountain Travel Symposium in Beaver Creek, Colo. This is the second consecutive year Whistler Blackcomb has received this award.
“We are thrilled with this accolade,” says Stuart Rempel, Senior VP of Marketing and Sales for Whistler Blackcomb. “The reviews posted to Onthesnow.com really speak to the full mountain experience Whistler Blackcomb offers. This season has been incredible and we are well on our way to reaching our second snowiest season ever. With 1442cm of snowfall to date, and 45cm in the past week, the spring skiing conditions are excellent. There is still plenty of great skiing and riding to be had this season with Blackcomb Mountain open until May 23. Guests still have time experience this unbelievable place for themselves at great spring prices.”
OnTheSnow.com also named users’ top regional picks in the Far West, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, Pacific Northwest and Rockies. Whistler Blackcomb ranked “Best Overall” from the Pacific Northwest region.

What is the number one Canadian adventure? According to one of the world’s most reputable travel guide publishers and producers, the absolute best Canuck getaway is to ski at Whistler Resort.
Lonely Planet recently released its list of top-10 Canadian adventures and Whistler is right at the top, receiving the following tribute: One of North America’s best ski resorts, perhaps best in the world, Whistler Blackcomb – the principal venue for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games – contains nearly 200 longer-than-average marked trails and the highest vertical drop … of any ski field on the continent. Wander round the back of Blackcomb to Ruby Bowl and it gets even better. It has Whistler Blackcomb’s best powder, falling in continuous steeps for more than 600 metres.

Skiers, boarders eager as La Nina expected to bring lots of snow
B.C.’s ski and snowboard industry has high hopes for the upcoming season.
With reports that the La Nina weather cycle will bring heavy snow throughout the winter, ski and snowboarding areas are busy getting lifts and hills ready.
At Whistler Blackcomb, plans are for the resort to open Whistler Mountain Friday, with Blackcomb following on Thursday, Nov. 25.
With some natural snow, and the temperature cold enough to blow snow, management is confident it can open about a week earlier than in past years.
“New snow and low freezing levels, along with the hard work of our mountain operations, grooming and snow-making teams, mean we can open Whistler Mountain on Friday,” said Doug MacFarlane, mountain manager at Whistler Blackcomb.
“Though early-season conditions will apply, having those first few turns of the season is a great feeling and we’re happy to make that happen for our guests six days earlier than planned.”
