“We’ve got some new and exciting things in store for this winter, so stay tuned for more,” said Whistler Blackcomb on Instagram. “For now, let’s soak up this last stretch of warm Whistler weather.”
Whistler and Blackcomb are two side-by-side mountains with over 200 marked runs, more than 8,100 acres of terrain, 16 alpine bowls, and three glaciers combined.
The long-running Fitzsimmons Express will be replaced with a high-speed, 8-person chairlift this winter, the first of its kind across Vail Resorts’ North American resorts.
According to the resort, the upgrade will help reduce wait times for the lines at Skier’s Plaza in Whistler Village. It will also increase uphill capacity and improve circulation in the mid-mountain area.

The mountain resort is also offering summer savings until September 4 on the 2023/24 winter passes including EDGE Cards, Whistler Blackcomb Day Passes, and Epic Pass.
Skiers and riders who buy their passes now will also gain early access to the Winter Getaway Sale as well as exclusive discounts on lodging. And a new My Epic app will be rolled out to Whistler Blackcomb in future season.
