It might be surprising at first, but Whistler’s best-kept secret is springtime, which offers a whole lot of awesomeness to explore in the area.

The March snowfall average of 2.4 metres adds to what is typically an amazing base, with the longest ski season in North America that goes well into May. Meaning, there’s tons of time left to enjoy Whistler and even more reasons why it’s destined to become one of your all-time favorite getaways.

Longer, sunnier days means more of everything

Who doesn’t love choice? With spring’s extra daylight, the possibilities at Whistler Blackcomb are mind-boggling. After a day on the mountain, why not trying something completely different such as zip lining, which is Whistler’s highlight and is perfect for the warmer days of spring.

Another fun activity that Whistler offers is snowmobile tours that give a unique chance to see the town from a whole new perspective. It is a great fit for springtime conditions and a must-do for Whistler first-timers.

The perfect time to relax on the patio

One of the great things about spring in the mountains is that anytime is a great time to kick back and enjoy the patio weather. A relaxing lunch out on a sun-soaked mid-mountain deck at the Roundhouse, Chic Pea, or Crystal Hut, is a can’t-miss daily ritual.

In September 2017, Whistler also introduced the Umbrella Bar, which is part of the renovated Roundhouse Lodge Terrace and Viewing Deck. These two new patios added an additional 555 seats with the heated umbrella bar’s 63 year-round patio seats overlooking Whistler Village at the Roundhouse Lodge.

At the end of the day, the party is just getting started in the Village down below, with the likes of The GLC, Merlin’s, and Dusty’s serving up some of the best après you’ll find anywhere in the world.

Hard to believe that you get all the advantages of spring plus the best prices of any season, including tons of unmatched deals for accommodation, packages, activities and more.

It all adds up to a recipe of spring magic that simply can’t be matched anywhere else in North America or the world, for that matter.
