W-B has a lot of everything. As with any ski resort, after a storm, the steeper areas with more traffic will bump up quicker than those areas with less traffic. W-B has vast snow fields & bowls, extensive glades and a glacier. There is something for every taste & style.

However you decide to work the mountain, for my last run of the day I like to wind up at Horstman’s Hut at the 7th Heaven area around 2:45 – 3 pm. Enjoy a frosty adult beverage and hang with my buds until patrol kicks us out. Then ski the fields in 7th Heaven down through the trees of Bark Sandwich. Then cut skiers right to Merlin for a nice cruiser back to the condo.

will there be enough snow?
lots of crowds?
thanks
oh and.. iheard that there is like an 11km run…is this for intermindate skiers?

Hi, early January will be fine for snow cover however you will be sharing the mountain with the rest of the world as the olympics are on in February. The 11 km run is the home trail which is a green trail (easy)

We have always wanted to go to Whistler to ski but we are worried that it wont have good snow. I’m not sure if we should risk the possibility of rain all week. Would it be wiser to forget BC and go with Breck? I have heard the snow there is great.

In a good snow year in the PNW Whistler may still be iffy before Christmas. There is snow making on many slopes but unless it is cold that is chancy. For the best party, Whistler, for the best snow, if I could predict the future I’d know what 6 numbers to play for tonight’s Lotto drawing. Try to delay making a commitment until much later in the year. By Thanksgiving you may know about Whistler. Have fun. The best snow for Whistler is usually in late January to late March. If it rains in the Village, then it is snowing on top. 5000 foot of elevation means rain at the bottom, corn in the mid station and powder in the back bowls.

This stretch of highway is called “Sea to Sky” just to sort of get you in the mood :) it’s a really nice drive.

After arriving in Whistler, I bought a daypass to go up on Whistler Mountain by gondola – a 20 minute ride or so.

I’m not sure if it’s the highest mountain I’ve ever been on but it’s surely the best view I’ve had from any mountain. It was windy and quite cold up there but it didn’t seem to matter :) I wanted to get some good shots from up there.

The ‘TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival’ was going on that week but even so, Whistler Village seemed like a nice and quiet place. I wonder how things will change when the 2010 Winter Olympics are held here.

For your information, I don’t ski – however, seeing this, I might have to learn how to and return some day :)

Imma amateur snowboarder and we are taking this trip for spring break. Thanks

Colorado is amazing!!! Definitely stay in the U.S. and save your money!!
