Whistler Blackcomb Mountain Resort
Whistler Blackcomb has
over 8,100 skiable acres of mountain terrain.
One vertical mile. Two mountains connected by
a pedestrian Village at the base. More than 200
ski and snowboard trails. Three glaciers. 33 lifts.
Twelve alpine bowls. The season runs from November
to August every year.
Whistler Blackcomb announced
that the new lift-accessed area in the high alpine
of Whistler Mountain will be crowned the Symphony
Amphitheatre to reflect its spectacular natural
amphitheatre-like terrain. The area will be accessed
by the newly named Symphony Express.
The Symphony Amphitheatre brings
to the fore one of Whistler Mountain's favorite
in-bounds backcountry experiences. Long referred
to by locals as the Musical Bumps, Piccolo, Symphony
and Flute Bowls are the encore to Whistler's Harmony
Bowl, but until now have been reserved for those
willing to hike for their turns. This winter,
the Symphony Express will provide access to over
1,000 acres of this intermediate and advanced
terrain.
Take a scenic gondola ride to
the Roundhouse Lodge, followed by a short walk
to an open-air chair lift ride to the peak of
Whistler Mountain at 7000 feet. You will find
360 views, snowy glaciers, volcanic rock formations
- don't forget your camera!
