Whistler Weather

Whistler is one of the most popular ski resorts in North America and this is largely because of the climate in the region. The winter is perfect for skiing in Whistler - the temperatures are relatively high and the snow levels are deep. Go prepared for the occasional blizzard. In general though, temperatures are moderate throughout the winter season, rarely dipping below 12°F (-10°C) in the valley and 5°F (-15°C) on the peaks during the coldest part of the year. Average daily alpine temperature during most of the winter months is 22°F (-5°C).

The proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the structure of the mountains in the region make Whistler a weather paradise, both in winter and in summer time. The temperatures are also higher in springtime, and it seems that Whistler is among the first Canadian regions to come to life after a long winter. The summer weather is quite predictable, thus creating perfect opportunities for outdoor activities, such as fishing, white water rafting, hiking or outdoor sports. The nearby glaciers and the warm currents coming from the Pacific Ocean create the perfect climate all year long, regardless of the activities you have in mind.
