Glacier Skiing & Snowboarding

Blackcomb Mountain's Horstman Glacier is open for sun-filled days of skiing and snowboarding in the summer. Be sure to pack sunscreen because the rays are hot.

Access to the Glacier in Summer

In order to access the glacier, skiers and snowboarders must upload on the Wizard and Solar Coaster Express chairs, then transfer to a bus which travels along Expressway to the base of the 7th Heaven Express. Once at the top of the 7th Heaven Express, skiers and riders can access the Horstman Glacier. Skiers and snowboarders take the same route to get back down, or can use the skiout from the glacier to the top of the Solar Coaster as long as snow conditions permit.

Conditions can vary throughout the day, so be prepared. Bring sunscreen, goggles or sunglasses, gloves and a jacket due the changes in mountain weather.

Please be advised that lift ticket passes for glacier skiing and snowboarding in the summer are sold through Guest Services at Whistler Blackcomb and not through the Activity Centre.

Activities are subject to availability and may be dependent on weather and conditions.
