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!
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 🙂
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.
@@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.
@@xAliPoPx yeah, no problem for you as a Common Wealth citizen. The Common Wealth still mad at America for rejecting the King’s tax collections, and then whooping his army’s ass and bankrupting him. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I was hoping they'd stick to the original build plan from 2013, but that all changed, first with that "Renaissance" indoor water park idea, then the Vail purchase shenanigans.
There's a spring pipe between Catskinner & the terrain park on Blackcomb. The original pipe is being used for jump training with an inflated airbag landing area. fyi...
I love both mountains but I'll always love Whistler a little more. Most of my snowboarder friends prefer blackcomb, most of my skier friends prefer Whistler.
love everything in this film but Bob Dufort , he aggressively grabbed me in creekside line up. He would dissaprove of every side hit in this video. Glad he retired
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

this is such an epic little film, nicely done
I didn't know there was another mtn right next to Blackcomb
They are really one big mountain. Both owned by Vail Resorts and connected by a gondola.
I think that was a dig at whistler lol

Whistler blackcomb will forever miss Hugh Smythe. His passion was infectious.
so so epic those whistler freeride guys throw down, met a couple of them at a party a few weeks ago
Can’t wait for this season
Such cool cinematics and old footage! Makes me miss riding here there so much
When I get older I need to live here.

Amazing mountains run by the crap hole vail
Damn, this would have me hyped if I could afford to ski here still.
skiing is so fucking expensive
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.
Can't wait to come back this year. :)
great video. This should have more views
there is only one spanky and its on Blackcomb!
Can't wait to go for my 1st time !
Needs more snowboards.
This is art
For the advanced, wanna push yourself skier, Blackcomb is the way to go. Family and more fun oriented to Whistler
As a freeride club skier, I must disagree
so well put together
Blackcomb is better. Whistler is great, but Blackcomb is better.
Didnt know there was a rivalry for so long

really?? do they try and keep it locals only?

@@mikeuptegrove ahh good to know, thanks. Luckily I’m from the UK. Doing my instructor course there this season!

@@mikeuptegrove But WB is owned by an American corporation…….
The tree skiing isn't through cedars. Most of the mountains are all Mountain Hemlock.
isn't Khyber mix of OG yellow cedar, WRC and hemlock?
Let’s go WB!!

Build the halfpipe!!!!!!!!

Rn I just be skiing what’s open 😭😭

Researching Windows rn
Blackcomb 😍
what a marriage!!
Either way, you have to deal with the crazies that live in BC
#teamblackcomb
Song at 10:50?
Nothing beats peak chair/
Which one handles Global Warming rain better?
I take the Whistler side!
blackcomb every day
CBC traverse beats everything
Whisyler is better when Creekside Gondi is open.

Go ski somewhere else, no one on WB will miss you ;)
@@CrushedCity don't worry I already do! :)
If whistler doesnt cost arm and legs.....
no need for the virtue signaling land statement
Funny how they profile all these different skiers but then show clip after clip of Stan Rey skiing for so much of their segments 🎿
Luckily I, and everyone else who has shot with stan, has had many winters shooting with him so the B-Roll folders are very Stan Rey heavy ahahahah.
Why the woke thing at the beginning?
What is this new trend of always having commentary from people with speech impediments?
*WHISTLER IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE SUPREME*
