Jersey Cream Express Area

The Jersey Cream Express Chairlift is located in the central mid-mountain area of Blackcomb and is one of the first upper chairlifts to open on Blackcomb every day. After uploading either via the Blackcomb Gondola or the Excelerator Express Chairlift, you can do some warm-up laps on the runs in this area before heading to other parts of the mountain. You can also go into Rendezvous Lodge or Glacier Creek Lodge to get a coffee and pastry if you need a morning energy boost or to warm up.
Given its easier Blue runs, including Wishbone and Jersey Cream, the Jersey Cream area is well suited for advanced beginners and intermediates. Experts can head to Jersey Cream Wall and the three large Black mogul runs on the uphill side of this area.
From the Jersey Cream Express Chairlift area, you can access:
-
Blackcomb Frontside runs and lifts
-
Runs over to the 7th Heaven Express Chairlift

Wishbone: Wishbone is the other main Blue route through this area. Wishbone starts beside the Rendezvous Lodge, runs along the top of Jersey Cream Wall, and then splits into two routes that run down to the bottom of the Jersey Cream Express Chairlift.
