Whistler, B.C. – Snow and goggle tans are sure signs that the days are getting longer and brighter.

Whistler offers some of the most sensational mountain conditions and with more sunlight hours combining with the deep snow of winter, the months of March and April are not to be missed.

It’s a time when the stars align – or, in Whistler’s case, the daylight hours, sunshine and snow come together – to create the perfect scenario for the ultimate mountain vacation: the days start to get longer, and the snow continues to fall.

Year over year, March is on record as one of Whistler’s snowiest months. Last year, 538 centimetres (212 inches, or nearly 18 feet) of snow fell in March and April alone (by the end of March, with two months remaining in the season, Whistler had surpassed its average annual snowfall of 39 feet).

March and April also bring a number of events to Whistler including the Yeti Snowshoe series, the Sea to Sky Nordic Festival, Cross Country Ski Nationals and the Whistler Cup – not to mention the ultimate display of mountain culture with the signature 10-day World Ski and Snowboard Festival (April 12-21).
