Excellent
A wheelchair assessable world class ski and snowboard resort with awesome slope and a great adaptive ski program.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Signage throughout the resort is clear and east to follow, especially while skiing or snowboard on the piste. However no large print or easy read available. Most areas are accessible and first time sit-skiers or adaptive skiers will be accompanied by a Whistler Adaptive Rep. Whistler Mountain is more accessible to the wheelchair user than Blackcomb Mountain. The Village Gondola can accommodate a person in a wheelchair Guests can ride to the top of Whistler on the gondola and easily access the Roundhouse, through a wheelchair accessible door and lift.

Additional Information
You can leave your wheelchair at the top of the Gondola, asking the lift attendants to move it to one side for you, behind the roped off area. You can also request that the lift attendant send it back to the Village or Mid-station for your at the end of your ski day. This also acts in reverse. Blackcomb Mountain has limited accessibility
