Whistler Keen To Stress It’s Still World Number 1
Published : 25-Oct-2011 07:29
Having lost is annual rating of World Number 1 in the US Ski Magazine ratings to Deer Valley, Utah, some years ago, Whistler Blackcomb has been keen to point out that it is ranked as number one in a number of other surveys, and is still number two, or highly placed, in other publications online and in print worldwide.
With four recent "best overall" wins and eighteen No.1 "category" wins, Whistler Blackcomb believes it has cemented its position as the consistently ranked No. 1 mountain resort in North America across multiple measures.
"We are ecstatic to be recognized as one of the best mountain resorts by such a cross-section of sources: from ski and snowboard industry magazines, to travel experts," says Stuart Rempel, senior vice president of marketing and sales at Whistler Blackcomb. "We've got extraordinary natural assets and a robust infrastructure combined with staff that go the extra mile to make guests' experiences at Whistler Blackcomb one of the best in the industry. This past season Whistler Blackcomb scored an 88 on our Net Promoter Score, the highest score for customer satisfacti
on in Canada and among the top scores in North America. We're going to work hard this season to not only maintain, but surpass this score."
