New Carpool Parking at Whistler Blackcomb

Whistler Blackcomb is excited to introduce a trial carpooling program in Winter 2024/25, which applies to Upper Lot 7 and Creekside Garage level P1 on weekends and peak periods only between 6 and 11 AM. This trial program incentivizes carpooling by providing free priority parking access to vehicles with four or more occupants. After 11 AM, these lots will open to all vehicles, regardless of the number of passengers in the vehicle. Parking in both lots remains free at all times, without the need for reservations. See more information and FAQs at whistlerblackcomb.com.

Winter Returned Early to Whistler Blackcomb

Whistler Blackcomb kicked off a season of firsts when its lifts started spinning for the 2024/25 ski and ride season one day earlier than planned with the opening of Blackcomb Mountain on Thursday, November 21, followed by the opening of Whistler Mountain on Friday, November 22. This season, guests can expect the same unmatched terrain for all ages and skill levels across two mountains and more than 8,000 skiable acres, with a few new features designed to make the experience at North America’s largest ski resort even better. The highlights are plentiful for winter season, including the debut of the newly upgraded Jersey Cream Express chairlift, new hands-free Mobile Pass and Mobile Lift Tickets, the launch of My Epic Gear, and a trial carpool program to encourage guests to travel together.
