The Largest Ski Resort in North America!



Whistler/Blackcomb, BC is notorious for its incredible skiing, immense size and varying terrain. Ski the powder bowls of Whistler in the morning and then the chutes on the sunny side of Blackcomb in the afternoon, then “cruise” all the way back to the base village and enjoy North America’s best Après Ski scene. Whether you ski or snowboard, Whistler/Blackcomb is a must do on your winter list.

We will be flying non-stop to Vancouver from New York.
From Vancouver, we will take a luxury coach (bus) from the airport to the hotel.
