Blackcomb Peak

Blackcomb Peak, known in Ucwalmícwts as Tsíqten, rises east of Whistler in British Columbia at the boundary between the Whistler Blackcomb ski resort and Garibaldi Provincial Park. Its slopes are central to Whistler’s ski terrain, with runs descending toward Whistler Village and Blackcomb Village, and the resort’s lifts also serve as a common gateway into the park for travelers on the Spearhead Traverse. The mountain also hosted the Whistler Sliding Centre during the 2010 Winter Olympics for bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton. In the Coast Mountains, its marine west coast climate brings heavy precipitation, deep winter snowfall, severe cold, and generally better climbing conditions from July through September.
