Get Ready for Winter

Winter is almost here! Whistler Blackcomb kicks off the 2024/2025 season on November 22, 2024. Lock in your ski package (hotel, ski passes, rentals and transfers) at the best price by booking before November 15,2024.

Lock in your days on the slopes early and enjoy rates starting at just $95 CAD per day with a Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass or Season Pass. Typically, these passes are only available until early December, but our advice is to lock them in as soon as you can as prices increase the closer you get to the season.

Don't forget to book your restaurants and activities early to secure your spot and make sure everything is ready for your trip. 

Whistler Blackcomb Updates

This summer, Whistler Blackcomb upgraded Blackcomb Mountain’s Jersey Cream Chair to a high-speed six-pack, boosting uphill capacity by 29% and reducing wait times. Nearing completion, this upgrade is part of ongoing resort infrastructure investments, following the Fitzsimmons Express Chairlift upgrade on Whistler Mountain. Additionally, the 2024/25 season will introduce hands-free Mobile Pass and Lift Tickets through the My Epic app, allowing guests to buy and store their pass online, then access lifts via Bluetooth, skipping the ticket window entirely. whistlerblackcomb.com
