Whistler
Whistler is a world renowned ski resort - and the lift passes reflect that! We offer lots of activities other than skiing on our trips for anyone who doesn’t want to ski on all days.
Wanna snag the best price for Whistler Blackcombe lift pass? Then buy it before the ski season starts! These are called Day Passes and can be bought here until the beginning of December. Just enter the number of days you’ll want to ski for and also consider whether you’ll be skiing on peak dates (listed on their website) to buy it. Prices are in Canadian Dollars and the pass is available for anyone (you don’t need to be a resident of Canada).
If you’re not able to get a lift pass before the start of December, you can still buy lift passes in advance here (which is still more affordable than buying them at the resort).

Winter sports travel insurance
Don’t forget - it’s essential to purchase winter sports travel insurance for your ski or snowboard holiday in case you get injured during your trip. You will need to make sure your chosen insurance covers personal liability as well as medical and emergency cover. If you’re planning to go off-piste or hit up the snow park, make sure this is also explicitly covered in your insurance policy.
