Family EARLY BOOKING OFFER

PRIORITIZING YOUR SAFETY
For your safety, Whistler Blackcomb will be managing how many people are on our mountains this season and implementing a pass holder reservation system. Reservations will be required to access our mountains. For the vast majority of days, we anticipate our mountains will be able to accommodate everyone who wants to ski or ride at our resorts. This reservation system is designed to give you peace of mind knowing that you will have the space you need to feel safe and physically distance, no matter what day you visit. If you book lodging and wish to ski or ride during your stay, you must have a pass reservation or lift ticket in order to access the mountain. For additional details please click here
