I'm planning on a summer ski trip but have some questions about the mountains. First does whistlers glacier have a park? And if so does it meet the standards of hood’s public park? And which glacier is better all around snow wise and convenience. Just trying to figure out which is a better option. I'm also into mountain biking and whistler has insane mountain biking.

Mount hood's public park puts Whistler's to shame. Hands down, zero debate.

On a camp level the mountains are pretty similar. You get more full laps at the whistler camps, whereas the hood camps are more session zones.

Whistler village is awesome for nightlife if you're 19+, hood and the skate park facilities are unmatched.

As for biking though, if you're going for both biking and skiing whistler is one of the best spots on the planet for that right now.
