Spring Skiing at Whistler, BC

E-mail Print PDF


Take to the Slopes...

Interested in one last run before the snows melt?  If so, consider Whistler Resort, the perfect year-round destination nestled between Whistler (elev. 7,160) and Blackcomb (elev. 7,494) mountains in the coastal range of British Columbia.  Spring provides plenty of sunshine, wonderful snow and skiing rated “best of the best” in North America--winter skiing runs through May and summer skiing continues through August at higher elevations.  There are some 200 marked trails out of 6,998 acres of ski-able terrain.  Lift lines are hardly noticeable at the 27 lifts, 12 of which are express and two, high speed gondolas.  The resort is a pedestrian-only village and you’ll find great shopping within walking distance of your lodge which is located on the slope--step out of the condo and right into your skis for a fun-filled day!  Whistler offers an abundance of ski and snowboarding programs for children ages 2 to 16 including several apres-ski programs.  A swimming pool, ice rink, movie theatre, amusement arcade and Play Zone are located in the village.  You can also crosscountry ski on 17 miles of trails; snowmobile off the beaten path; enjoy wildlife tours on snowshoes and arrange a scenic helicopter tour.  With the melting of the snows come gondola rides to wildflower covered summits; horseback riding to Whistler Peak; downhill mountain biking; fishing; and, golfing with views from every hole.

    So, what do we parents who travel with our children know that others don’t?
