Thursday is Whistler Blackcomb’s opening day, and many are beyond excited to be skiing or snowboarding again – but this year’s ski season might also come with a bit of sticker shock.
As many continue to be impacted by sky-high housing costs, rising grocery bills, and more expenses, we rounded up how much it will cost you for a day on the slopes.
Tomorrow, a day pass will be $123, $142 for peak period access, and all pass products will go off sale on December 3.
If you purchase lift tickets online and in advance, they are less expensive than if you walk up to a window the day of. Tomorrow, a single-day lift ticket is $199 online and $215 the same day.
Day passes can range from one-10 days and are purchased before the season. Passes are not refundable.
Passes come in many varieties with a range of access, but they must be purchased before the season’s deadline.
However, if you buy on days between December 26-31, deemed peak days, you’ll pay $299 for an adult lift ticket.
If you don’t buy it ahead of time, it will cut into the Taylor Swift budget for sure.

On Thursday, DJs will be in attendance to keep the energy high, and in the morning, visitors can enjoy delicious cookies and granola bars, as well as sponsored prizes and giveaways.
Tourism Whistler reported a rise in bookings as temperatures dropped despite initial forecasts of a “softer” winter season.
The final chance to buy a pass is December 3, so remember to snag your tickets or a season pass within the next two weeks.
See you on the slopes!
