Title: Pass Revoked Without Evidence or Discussion
I have been skiing at Whistler Blackcomb for over 40 years and was a longtime employee of their Ski & Bike School. I thrive on skiing with friends and, given my background, enjoy sharing my knowledge with them. However, my pass was revoked without warning, without any opportunity for discussion, and without WB providing any actual evidence to support their claims.
Friends who wrote letters on my behalf were told that "multiple levels of evidence" supported the decision, yet no proof was ever shown to me. All communication was through email—no one was willing to meet, call, or discuss the matter. Furthermore, signage prohibiting lessons only appeared after my pass was revoked, raising concerns about how policies are being enforced.
Because of this experience, I chose not to renew my pass for the following season, as I have no confidence that this won't happen again. I am sharing my experience to warn others that simply skiing with friends and sharing knowledge could be misinterpreted, with serious consequences.

This is one of the best ski resorts in north America

There is nothing negative to say from our Whistler Blackcomb experience. It's truly worth it to make it to this skiing mecca. I'm not surprised it is known as one of the best in the world.

On the plus side, great off piste experience, wonderful long runs, the linkage (gondola) between Whistler and Blackcomb was fast and efficient even if there was a line it moved fast. The upper alpine runs were different exciting and fun. The upscale on mountain dining experience were very nice and worth doing. They take reservations and walk-ins only had a short wait for us, but we lunch late.
On the negative side, Very crowded even on week days (this could have been the fact that the only really big snowfall was late in the season. When the upper alpine runs are closed the crowds at mid mountain were miserable ((ie 45 minute lift lines and big crowds on the slopes.

Love this place start to finish. Family, instruction. Food it’s all here but it is expensive.

Our week at Whistler Blackcomb was amazing, but there was little snow in the weeks prior to our arrival and it started raining the day we left. We didn’t have the deep powder experience we anticipated, but had a few powdery days. Spent way more time on Blackcomb than Whistler - less crowded. Had a great experience but if you have to book your trip far in advance, you might think twice before committing to Whistler. Also note that snowy weekends make for tedious lift lines due to proximity to Vancouver and Seattle - so take lessons at these times no matter what your skill level to avoid insane waits.

I feel Whistler has crappy hours during the winter. Most other mountains close at 3:30pm, where as Whistler closes at 3:00, and some chairs even earlier.
As a Canadian, it is becoming increasingly difficult to take the family on a ski holiday to Whistler. Not only is the price of lift passes high, but also the price of hotel rooms are very expensive.
All that said, the terrain that Whistler Blackcomb has to offer is second to none!

One of my top 3 mountains and boarding experiences of all time. Unreal downhill runs above the tree line.

Love how easy is to take a break to enjoy a drink, a snack, or a full meal, whitin a few steps from the lift.

This was my first trip to Whistler/Blackcomb. So fun, lots of great skiing, long runs and apres ski was super. Got the oppurtunity to do an early Dawn Patrol with Marius on tue morning after a big snow storm. Best $ spent for a great safe tour, rad powder and fun tree lines. I highly recommend Dawn Patrol! Best ski day yet!
