Outdoor Activities
Skiing

If you are looking to ski or snowboard during your time at Whistler Blackcomb, you will want to purchase an Epic pass or day pass before the offer goes away on December 2.  After December 2, 2024, Epic Pass products will no longer be available.  You will only be able to buy tickets at the window or through the Whistler Resort website for ticket window prices.  Visit the Epic Pass website and use the filter to indicate how many days you want to ski, which resorts and if you are skiing peak dates or not (the conference dates are not over peak season).  Once you select, you will have options for different day and pass products.
