Friends don’t let friends pay full price at the ticket window. Here’s the scoop on how to shred at Whistler Blackcomb without shredding your wallet. The not-so-secret secret? Commit early.

Epic Passes and Whistler Blackcomb Day Passes are your golden ticket — but they’re only available before the winter season starts. Prices go up as winter gets closer so get yours now – trust us, your future self will thank you. Day of lift ticket prices can be triple the price of some pass options, so be a savings champion and ski 8,200+ acres of incredible terrain for as low as $81 CAD per day. YES, $81 CAD per day! That’s less than a cent per acre!
