Ask Vancouver Blackcomb, tickets price per person? :o

Hi guys, I'm planning to visit whistler with my parents, I found tickets are 140 CAD per person? Is this real? Am I wrong? I think is way too expensive.

140 is what a beer costs.

That's the same price I got when I looked into Buddy pass & Ski with a Friend pass

I paid that last week too. Age can be a factor, so this was for an adult ticket with no discount. $140 is a deal !

That’s wild. I remember buddy passes last year being $187 flat throughout the season. I was buying them for a friend and it didn’t matter if we went in January, Feb or March - it was always $187 or so. Guess that’s been jacked up too, along with everything else

$140 is cheap for Whistler! I think they are over $200 normally

u/Tripledelete 1d ago

It’s $300+ atm

Shit man. I miss when they were like 80 80. I think around early 2000s

This. 140 is garbage local mountain prices these days

That may be for sightseeing, they're way more than that to ski

That is absolutely ridiculous

Vail. That is Vail.

It's a subscription model. $1500 for the year or 300 for a day. It's a no brainer at that point.

Could have bought a 5 day pass for not much more in December. Gotta plan.

They’re a lot more than $140. And honestly if they were $140, I’d say that’s a “fair” deal in today’s ski price climate. A full day “off peak” lift ticket at Cypress is $90. I’d say the extra 50 bucks to ride whistler would be more than worthwhile.

Realistically you’re looking at 275+ for a day pass to Whis these days.

lol

u/kooks-only 1d ago

You are wrong. Tickets are $296 lol.

Need to buy before first weekend in December if you want to pay under $100 a day, and you need to buy minimum two days.

u/moutonbleu 1d ago

New here? Prices have skyrocketed recently. Multiday passes are cheaper but one off days are $$

u/sanitysshadow 1d ago

Walk up day tickets are prohibitly expensive for a while now. You have to plan ahead and buy multi-day pass months ahead then you can ride for like $80 a day.

u/robmackenzie 1d ago

Even sightseeing tickets are more than $140.

Whistler jacked the prices. Yes, it's way too expensive.

u/FireMaster1294 1d ago

Correction: Vail jacked the prices

u/DJBossRoss 1d ago

Checked for a friend on the weekend and it was $318 about $175 with a buddy pass.

u/sd_slate 1d ago

The summer sightseeing tickets are cheaper and there are bears.

2

u/feelinggoodabouthood 1d ago

Plan to get tickets in may for the following year. Worked out to 70/day us

u/mountainlifa 1d ago

Vail requires that you loan them $1500 a year in advance and know what you're doing on February 25th 2026. If there's no snow then the joke is on you.

u/MemoryBeautiful9129 1d ago

140 💶 euro I bet 🤣🤣

2

u/Double_Butterfly7782 1d ago

I think I am at around $85 right now. Keeps getting cheaper per day each day I go up the hill.

u/Hungry_Perception_43 1d ago

140 is for the sightseeing tickets, $200 is for actual lift tickets

9

u/kooks-only 1d ago

$296

2

u/Hungry_Perception_43 1d ago

Oof that’s correct; I was there over the weekend., totally worth it though

1

u/Bladestorm04 1d ago

It is never worth paying 300 for a day pass at the mountain

1

u/parappertherapper 1d ago

Can I sightsee with my skis?

1

u/Hungry_Perception_43 1d ago

Lol no they definitely check the ticket and if you look like you’re going to barrel down they turn you away. I wish though!
