Whistler Blackcomb is a major
ski resort located 121 km north of
Vancouver, in
British Columbia,
Canada. By many measures it is the largest ski resort in
North America; it is 50% larger than its nearest competitor in terms of size, has the greatest uphill lift capacity, and until 2009, had the highest vertical skiable distance by a wide margin. Whistler Blackcomb also features the
Peak 2 Peak Gondola for moving between
Whistler and
Blackcomb mountains at the top; Peak 2 Peak holds records for the highest and longest unsupported cable car span in the world. With all of this capacity, Whistler Blackcomb is also often the most-visited ski resort, often besting 2 million visitors a year.
