Boasting the biggest vertical drop in North America and with over 32 square kilometers (8000 acres) of mountainous terrain, Whistler Blackcomb is one of the best places in the world to ski and snowboard. The numbers speak for themselves: over 200 trails, 5 parks, 1 super pipe, 1 snow cross track, 37 lifts that can move 69,680 skiers per hour, 17 mountain restaurants and a ski season that stretches from November to late May/early June. With an average of 1092 cm of snowfall a season, the fresh powder is what joy riders are after, but this much snow can also be deadly. A team of 5000 work 24/7 to keep them safe.
