Blackcomb is a beauty. Often overlooked in favour of its headline-stealing neighbour, this peak actually does half of the work when it comes to making Whistler the unparalleled, world-renowned ski resort that it is. You see, it’s not just Whistler’s powdered slopes that are popular with snow-sports fanatics, but Blackcomb’s too. And a visit during summer will reveal a whole host of this mountain’s other myriad charms.
Filling in for winter’s rolling blanket of white is the carpet of wildflower peppered verdure that comes to life when the snow makes its final goodbyes. And there’s no better way to explore these grassy slopes than by donning those trusty walking boots and putting your glutes to work with a hike. Lush forests meet wild open spaces, valleys home cyan lakes that need no filter and craggy viewpoints will open up your eyes to the sheer splendour and downright enormity of the planet that we call home. Make sure to sit and soak it all in, because Blackcomb’s views are the kind that will melt all your troubles away.
