Spanky’s Ladder in Whistler Blackcomb is one of the most epic on resort free-skiing playgrounds in all of North America. It’s my all-time favourite area to play around on Blackcomb mountain and I hardly spend a day at the hill without doing at least one Spanky’s lap.
Most locals refer to the entire area as Spanky’s Ladder. However Spanky’s Ladder is just the name of the 15 meter boot-pack required to reach the top of the Gemstone Bowls. The Gemstone Bowls is the formal name for this zone. Four bowls, Garnet, Sapphire, Ruby and Diamond make up the Gemstone Bowls. They are all fantastic and there are countless lines through the bowls that vary in difficulty level.
Spanky’s ladder can feel quite intimidating for first timers who hike up and have absolutely no idea how to ski down.
In this video I will show you the basic routes through the Gemstone Bowls so you can become familiar and ski Spanky’s Ladder with confidence the next time you ski or snowboard at Whistler Blackcomb.
