MOUNTAIN ACCESS
Whistler Blackcomb will not have a mountain reservation system this season and will load lifts and gondolas at normal capacity, optimizing guest movement around the resorts.
FACE COVERINGS
Face coverings will be required in indoor settings, including in our restaurants, lodging properties, restrooms, and retail and rental locations, and on buses. Face coverings will not be required outdoors but are required in gondolas at Whistler Blackcomb given local regulations. All employees are required to wear face coverings indoors and when operating gondolas.
DINING RESERVATIONS
Like last season, guests will be required to book a reservation to eat at many of the on-mountain restaurants using our Time to Dine reservation service. However, based on current regulations, we are expecting significantly more seating and dining capacity than last season, and we intend to open reservations one day prior, versus the day-of last season.
DINING VACCINATIONS
Guests will be required to show their BC Vaccine Card to dine at indoor restaurants, restaurant patios and bars, based on the order from the Provincial Health Authority. Proof of vaccination will be required for guests ages 12 and over at those locations, and for guests ages 19 and over, a proof of photo ID will also be required. This applies to those in our ski and ride school programs that include lunch. LEARN MORE
