Whistler Blackcomb has done it again.
B.C.'s Olympic co-host venue has been rated No. 1 by Skiing Magazine for the 13th year in a row.
"We are thrilled to be on top again this year," said Dave Brownlie, president and chief operating officer at Whistler Blackcomb.
"We are extremely fortunate to be blessed with the incredible physical attributes that our mountains offer -- their size, scope and variety of terrain tops the rankings every year."
The magazine rates resorts based on several criteria and Whistler Blackcomb gets consistently high marks for terrain quality and variety, thanks to its 3,300 hectares.
"It's a poll of our readers, not the editors. And the readers overwhelmingly chose Whistler," said Jake Bogoch, editor of Skiing Magazine.
Apres-ski and nightlife also rated high. "Whistler exudes an energy that is difficult to replicate anywhere else, and guests love it, citing it as one of the key reasons they come back year after year," said Brownlie.
Ninety per cent of Whistler Blackcomb's terrain will remain open during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
The resort was also rated No. 1 by Freeskier magazine and No. 2 by Ski magazine.
Whistler Blackcomb's official opening day this year is Nov. 26.
