Dubbed North America’s ‘most beautiful’ mountain resort, Whistler Blackcomb opens this weekend (May 16) for the summer season. And with features including the continent’s largest bike park, sightseeing trails with amazing vistas, ancient glaciers, and alpine lakes and wildflowers, Vail Resorts notes that the destination is not just for winter experiences.
To best take advantage, the company touts its Epic Pass, which entitles holders to exclusive summer discounts while also locking in their winter adventure at the lowest price. That includes receiving scenic PEAK 2 PEAK gondola rides, 20% off bike rentals, and 20% off at the weekly Mountain Top Summer Feast.
What’s new at Whistler Blackcomb
- New this summer atop Whistler Mountain, wellness event Nourish will bring yoga classes, guided meditation, sound baths, cooking classes, speaker series and more, hosted in an immersive geometric dome.
- Forged Axe Throwing will bring a Canadian classic to the alpine with axe throwing sessions on weekends. It’s all part of Whistler expansive Summer Alpine Experience.
- The Whistler Summer Concert Series features an impressive lineup of free outdoor concerts in Whistler Olympic Plaza.
Note: Early bird rates for several Epic Pass options are available until May 26. That date is also the last chance to receive two Buddy Tickets and six Ski With a Friend Tickets with an Epic Pass. A Buddy Ticket offers up to 45% savings on a lift ticket to help passholders share days at their favourite resorts with family and friends.
