Which Mountain is BEST - WHISTLER or BLACKCOMB?

Today we put WHISTLER MOUNTAIN & BLACKCOMB MOUNTAIN head to head so we can finally decide which mountain is the BEST. Believe it or not, Whistler and Blackcomb used to be completely separate mountains and didn’t officially merge until 1997. Whistler and Blackcomb were born rivals from the start. Blackcomb mountain officially opened on December 6, 1980 and Whistler skiers instantly began referring to Blackcomb as the ‘Dark Side’. Although Whistler Blackcomb has been a joint mountain for over 25 years, the rivalry still burns strong. If you ask anyone on the chairlift they probably have a preference of one side or the another. In my opinion, both mountains are amazing and both have a variety of advantages and disadvantages. In this video I compare Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain over a number of different categories to help you decide which mountain is the best.
