The Mountains
Located in the Coast Mountain range of British Columbia, Whistler averages an annual snowfall of 11.74 metres (38.5 feet). This tremendous snowfall is largely due to its proximity to the coast, bringing moderate temperatures ideal for big fluffy flakes. Between the two mountains Whistler boasts 3,307 hectares (8,171acres) of terrain, with 200+ marked runs to explore.

Snowboarding In Whistler
With over 8,000 acres of terrain, Whistler Blackcomb is the biggest ski resort in North America. Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, of similar size, sit side by side, linked by the Peak 2 Peak gondola (the biggest suspension gondola in the world). A typical week at camp is split between the 2 mountains to give you the chance to experience the best of both, and there is plenty of terrain to challenge snowboarders of all abilities.
