The best après route at Whistler Blackcomb.
The best après route at Whistler Blackcomb.

Whistler Blackcomb is a truly massive ski resort, combining to enormous mountains to add up to 8,171 acres of skiable terrain. A short vacation is nowhere near enough to gain a proper understanding of the resort without a guide, although it can be a bit easier if you have a specific terrain target in mind. The Whistler Blackcomb Wonder Routes series covers specific routes for those hoping to accomplish specific goals during their visit, and this recent Wonder Route is focused on the best Apres Route.

If you’re goal is to get the best après experience while visiting, rather than taking proper advantage of the massive terrain, this is a great route for you. Start with a Bavarian-inspired snack at the Horstman Hut at the top of 7th Heaven Express before making your way down Panorama to Southside Green and Jersey Cream, where you can head straight to Glacier Creek Lodge for some ramen.

After that, head up Jersey Cream Express to hit Christine’s at Rendezvous before riding the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola for a stunning transfer to Whistler Mountain. On Whistler Mountain, enjoy a refresh at the Corona Mountaintop Lodge. Then head down the mountain, taking Whiskey-Jack, Express Way, and Lower Olympic to finish your day at the Garibaldi Lift Co.
