Beginner Terrain

Skiing and riding on Blackcomb Mountain is recommended for intermediate, advanced and expert skiers and riders. We apologize but due to construction on the mountain, there is no beginner terrain available.

Terrain Park

Blackcomb Mountain has a new exciting terrain park open through to the end of May in the Jersey Cream area featuring a mix of small, medium as well as large jibs and jumps built for the Orage Masters. The Nintendo Highest Level Park and Superpipe are closed to accommodate Peak 2 Peak construction, as such there will be no XL jumps requiring an extra pass. Jersey Cream terrain park is in incredible shape with new features added daily.

To facilitate a December 2008 opening of Peak 2 Peak Gondola, Phase two of P2P construction needs to begin as soon as WB transitions to spring operations (one mountain open). The transportation road needs to be cleared for P2P construction which winds through the lower Excalibur zone. Though this area needs to be closed, there are over 2000 acres open for spring skiing and riding.

Areas Closed on Blackcomb

• Solar Coaster, Wizard Express and Catskinner Chairs - These are closed for the spring season for scheduled maintenance to prepare for the summer glacier season.
• Rendezvous Restaurant - Closed during Blackcomb station construction. Glacier Creek Restaurant at the bottom of Jersey Cream and Glacier Express is open daily for the entire spring season.
• Lower Excalibur Zone - This area is closed for the spring season. A transportation road has been cleared to accommodate for the P2P construction.
• Superpipe - The Highest Level Park and Superpipe are now closed for the season. The Terrain Park has been moved to the Jersey Cream Zone featuring a mix of small, medium as well as large jibs and jumps built for the Orage Masters. Jersey Cream terrain park is in incredible shape with new features added daily.
• Beginner Areas - There is no beginner area available this spring (due to closed construction areas). Skiing and riding on Blackcomb Mountain is recommended for intermediate, advanced and expert skiers and riders only.
