Feb 10, 2016Whistler Blackcomb on a Budget
Whistler Blackcomb is one of the top resorts in the world and the prices show it. Many go there for some of the best helicopter skiing offered to the public or to ski the glacier in the middle of July or just to get a sweet taste of its combined 8,171 acres of in-bound skiing. The gondola that connects Whistler to Blackcomb has the longest free span between ropeway towers in the world.
