Whistler Blackcomb announces 2024/​25 winter season

Guests planning to visit Whistler Blackcomb can lock in the best deals and experiences by purchasing the Pass that works best for them—from single day to season-long access before prices go up on September 2.

This season, the newly upgraded Jersey Cream Express chairlift will make its debut. Coming on the heels of last season's upgrade to Fitzsimmons Express, this new high speed 6-person chair will significantly improve uploading capacity and efficiency—and get guests on snow faster in the Glacier Creek Zone of Blackcomb Mountain.

Whistler Blackcomb is also excited to host the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 February 8-16. The event will bring together over 500 competitors from over 20 nations to compete in adaptive sports for this first-ever winter edition, and will feature Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding. Blackcomb also has the return of the World Ski and Snowboard Festival, weekly Fire & Ice Shows in Whistler Village, Whistler Pride and Ski Festival, the 39th Annual Peak to Valley Race, Whistler Cup and Creekside Classic.

Here is its checklist for guests to prepare for the season ahead:

• Skiers and riders have until September 2 to purchase a Pass before prices increase. Passes offer significant preseason savings compared to lift ticket prices and, whether you plan to ski or ride at Whistler Blackcomb just one day or all season long, there is a Pass option for everyone.
• Whistler Blackcomb EDGE Card provides exclusive discounts to Canadian and Washington State Residents with access to Whistler Blackcomb for as low as $81CAD per day. Choose from 2, 5, or 10 days at Whistler Blackcomb.
• Epic Pass ($1,004USD) offers the best deal in skiing and riding with unlimited, unrestricted access to Whistler Blackcomb, plus access to Fernie Alpine Resort, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, Kimberley Alpine Resort and Hakuba Valley (Japan). With additional resorts across the U.S., Europe and Australia, the Epic Pass unlocks access to more than 80 resorts worldwide.
• Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass offers skiers and riders the ability to build their own Pass—choosing 1-10 days to use throughout the season to ski and ride Whistler Blackcomb for as low as $93CAD per day. The Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass offers savings up to 65 per cent compared to lift tickets for guests purchasing in advance of the season, along with the flexibility to choose which days to ski or ride throughout the season, and doesn't need to be used on consecutive days.
• Specialty Passes are available including the Whistler Blackcomb Student Pass ($740CAD), Adaptive Passes ($492USD), and Passes to honour the Canadian Armed Forces including active and retired Military and their dependents ($177USD), as well as Veterans and their dependents ($573USD).

In addition, travelers no longer need to purchase and haul their equipment to and from Whistler Blackcomb with the launch of My Epic Gear, a first-of-its-kind membership that combines the luxury of owning high-quality gear and the convenience of a premium valet. Members unlock access to more than 60 of the latest ski and snowboard models from 13 leading brands.

Memberships are limited for the 2024/25 winter season, and available on a first-come, first-served basis. My Epic Gear is now available for the whole family (ages 3 and up) at Whistler Blackcomb, as well as other destination resorts, including Vail Mountain, Park City Mountain, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, Heavenly, Northstar, and Stowe. Memberships cost $50 USD for the 2024/25 season, with a $55 USD daily use fee for adults and $45 USD for kids (3-12).

Furthermore, a variety of on-mountain dining options will once again be available to guests this season, including more diverse menus at quick-serve lodges. The Horstman Hut will make a comeback this winter, where guests can enjoy a European-style selection of sausages, sauerkraut, pretzels and mustards. Whistler Blackcomb is proud to continue to offer signature dishes, like the famous buttermilk waffles at the Crystal Hut, and to provide elevated experiences at Steeps Grill and Wine Bar and the newly renovated Corona Mountaintop Lodge in the Roundhouse.

This season will also feature the return of regionally inspired Indigenous dishes created in partnership with the culinary team at the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre and available at Merlin's (base of Blackcomb) and the freshly updated Raven's (top of Creekside Gondola).
