What's New In Whistler

Spring in Whistler

Whistler’s deep snowpack means spring skiing is set to deliver right through to the last chair of the season. Think soft turns, bluebird days, and even a surprise powder stash or two. Longer daylight hours and wide-open terrain make it the best time to explore. Soak up spring skiing and patio après at great rates this March and April. Go explore at whistler.com/spring
