DAILY DOSE OF DAYDREAM

Spring Days at Whistler. Name that run.

Thanks for the photo, Leo.


Hello Skiers, and Snowboarders,


Short-Term Forecast

Light rain for Monday, and then during the day on Tuesday, a trough of low pressure and associated cold moves inland. This will bring snow on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the best chances on the mid and upper slopes. However, the lower slopes will also get some snow. Wednesday, expect some thundershowers due to an unstable air mass.


Make sure to check out our extended outlook.

  • Mid-Slopes - 4000 to 5500'
