What is the best season to visit Whistler, BC?
Whistler is known as a four-season resort, with activities for all the family available all year-round. If you are planning a trip, when should you come? First we must divide this question into two parts. If you are coming for the legendary skiing on Whistler’s 8000+ acres, you have to choose sometime between November and April. Although there is skiing available later than April it is not for serious skiers, due to the combination of marginal snow conditions and limited mechanized uplift. Within this time, you should definitely avoid November, as although occasionally there is good snow, more often than not it is too thin on the ground. So your choice is between the months from December to April. What are the main characteristics of each month? December is a game of two halves. The early part will find the slopes deserted, great deals on accommodation and restaurants and a lottery with respect to snow. If you have come in a great early snow year, this will be a fabulous time to visit.
