Whistler Blackcomb is the largest ski area in the whole of North America and is consistently voted as the best resort in North America. To go with its huge park area and immaculate varied piste, Whistler also has some incredible off-piste riding.

The Harmony area has windlips and couloirs a plenty and once you drop down a bit there’s also some excellent treeriding. There’s plenty of helicopter tours available in Whistler for those of you who fancy exploring a bit further and have pockets a little deeper. The imaginatively named Whistler Heli-Skiing Company is our pick starting at about $900 per person for a day of skiing or snowboarding.
