5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the Intermediate Skier/Snowboarder, January 11, 2007

By	marksky "marksky" (Huntingtown, MD United States) - See all my reviews

This book provides excellent intermediate trail information for the vastness that is Whistler/Blackcomb. With over 8000 acres of terrain, WB provides the largest area of in-bounds ski terrain in North America. Having been to WB three timex in the past five years, this book provides suggestions and ratings to all BLUE square trails, in addition to some beginner and expert terrain as well. I highly recommend this guide for people heading to WB...There is also a Expert Edition of this guide also.

This book is packed with great black & white aerial photos that show you where the routes are, along with tidbit information about each one. Also included is insightful fun and valuable information about Whister. This book is pocket-sized and fits easily into a ski jacket without notice. The pages are nice and thick.

Don't get me wrong, the colorful free ski maps that Whistler gives out are pretty nice, but this book offers so much more with even small bits of information I found to be fairly accurate. My one regret is that we didn't buy this book before we went, which is my one advice; buy it before you go. I first spotted this book at the ski shop in Whistler as we were leaving. It cost over $30 USD. For such a small book it felt pretty pricey after our vacation paying resort prices. Luckily I found it online for about $15, though it took about 4 weeks to get. Still, even afterwards it's a great book to hang onto. We thumb through it just to reminisce about the routes we skied and what we plan to ski on our next trip!
