      They are really one big mountain. Both owned by Vail Resorts and connected by a gondola.

    I remember that 1983 or 1984 TV add for Blackcomb @ 15:43. It wasn't their 1st TV add either; they had one from a couple year earlier too! then in '85 Blackcomb got the T. bar making it the Mile High mountain. Then in '86 Whistler got the Peak Chair, then in '87 Blackcomb opened the three quad lifts and two T bars. Great video, thanks for posting!

    Whistler blackcomb will forever miss Hugh Smythe. His passion was infectious.

    I love both, however with what Symphony chair opened up and my experience of the visibility means Whistler just about edges it for me - but I need to put a lot more research into it 🙂

    They competed to see which one would open the first. That doesn't seem to be terribly important now, since even Cypress Mountain opens earlier.

    Whistler Blackcomb was my favorite mountain. After I got out of high school I wanted a job there so bad. No Americans I was told. I was so bummed. I ended up moving to Tahoe and working at Squaw Valley instead. Always wished I could’ve made that happen.

    • @mikeuptegrove
      @mikeuptegrove ปีที่แล้ว

      @@xAliPoPx well, not, “locals”, but common wealth nations only. It’s not uncommon. Most countries have laws that prevent foreigners from taking jobs. That’s why there’s special rules for work visas. For example, in Brasil, you cannot have a job as a foreigner unless your hiring company can prove there’s no qualified nationals. If there isn’t, you can work, but!, you have to train a Brasilian while you work and as soon as they can do the job, you have to leave.

    amazing mountains but if you go on the weekend, they both suck. hour long ques for the gondi, 45 mins to get on chairs, over crowded runs and mass powder panic...a 30 cm night that gets skied out in a cpl short hours. add crazy village traffic and 3-4 hr return drives back to van and you got yourself a waste of time.... not to mention the cost
