New this Winter on Whistler Blackcomb

The new Piccolo Express Lift on Whistler Mountain will be open for the beginning of the 2006/2007 season, will run from the bottom of Flute Bowl to the peak of Piccolo and will provide access to more than 1,000 acres of the most spectacular high alpine terrain available in North America. The new Piccolo Express Lift will open up a brand new era of high alpine access for intermediate skiers and snowboarders as well as the experts. For the first time, guests will have high speed lift access to this spectacular terrain, with its legendary vast bowls, deep snow and exciting gladed sub-alpine skiing. The new Piccolo Express Lift will provide access to a range of gentle and challenging terrain including the wide open upper bowl area, a new high-intermediate gladed area, and two new conventionally cut trails for low-intermediates. The over 1,000 skiable acres accessed by this new lift is greater than the average size of all North American ski resorts. And in fact, it's larger than many other resorts in their entirety.  The new lift is part of an overall capital investment of $22.1 million in mountain upgrades at Whistler Blackcomb, consistently ranked as one of the world's top winter resort destinations. With 8,171 skiable acres, Whistler Blackcomb is the largest ski resort in North America.

New for last winter season! Expanded snowmaking capabilities and the new Tube Park. Located at the Base 2 Zone on Blackcomb Mountain, the Tube Park is great fun for the young and the young at heart. There's no skill or equipment required - just a sense of adventure and a desire for excitement. Whistler Blackcomb’s Tube Park has lanes like no other and is sure to please every level of thrill seeker. Family fun doesn't have to end when the lifts close because the Tube Park is open into the evening! Don't forget the 1,100 acres of new terrain that was opened in the 2004/05 season.
