Spring in Whistler

Spring Skiing

From powder days in March to long days, warm temperatures and views for days in April - spring skiing is arguably the best of them all. Go hard or go slow, the options are yours. Hit up the cruiser alpine runs, take a break in the sun on a mid-mountain patio then head down to the Village or Creekside for après until the sun goes down.

Get Outdoors

As the snow melts in late April and May hiking the lower elevation trails is the best way to appreciate the season of spring. Take a stroll and absorb the sight of the forest coming to life after winter, or join a tour to see Whistler's famous black bears as they emerge from hibernation.
