Blackcomb Glacier Opens for Skiing and Riding July 20 2009
The sun is shining, the lakes are warm, it's the
perfect time to ... go skiing and riding. The Horstman Glacier lets
you experience the best of both worlds - work on your tan AND get
your ski/ride fix at the same time.
Glacier Opening July 20, 2009
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.
In order to access the glacier, skiers and snowboarders must upload
on the Wizard and Solar Coaster Express chairs. You then transfer
to a bus which travels along Expressway to the base of the 7th
Heaven Express express chairlift.
Once at the top of the 7th Heaven Express, you access the Horstman Glacier. Skiers and snowboarders take the same route to get back down, or can use the ski out from the glacier to the top of the Solar Coaster as long as snow conditions permit.
Recommended for Levels Intermediate & Above
The summer glacier experience is recommended for intermediate to advanced skiers and riders and offers a perfect opportunity to improve your park and bump skills.
