A rockfall near Whistler Peak closed part of Whistler Blackcomb on March 12, 2026, with no injuries and the area closed indefinitely for safety checks.

A rockfall near Whistler Peak on Whistler Mountain early March 12, 2026, prompted the closure of the Peak Express chairlift and Whistler Peak area at Whistler Blackcomb ski resort, with no injuries reported as the incident occurred during non-operational hours. The affected zone, about 100 meters wide between West Cirque and Monday’s runs, remains closed indefinitely for safety assessments. Officials cite ongoing geological activity, including tectonic uplift and freeze-thaw cycles, as contributing factors to the event, which is considered a natural part of the region’s landscape evolution. Updates on access are available through the resort’s official channels.
