Long length of season
It’s lucky that the season is so long here, because Whistler has
more than 1,925 skiable hectares to enjoy. Throughout March, the
Peak 2 Peak Gondola joins Blackcomb and
Whistler mountains, meaning you can easily zoom between the two in
the same day, with Blackcomb Mountain staying open throughout April
and into May.
Don’t waste time in getting going: from Vancouver, it’s just a
two-hour hop along the Sea To Sky Highway to Whistler’s lofty
peaks. If those city legs get sore exploring the myriad runs on
offer (after all, they’re used to tackling broken London
Underground escalators rather than zooming down mountains), the hot
and cold outdoor pools of Scandinave Spa will sort them out in no time. The
setting, fringed by pine trees, is relaxing in itself.
