Whistler, Dec. 1-12, 2025

From Larry Schick: We are currently skiing Whistler Dec 1-12. They just opened harmony today ( thu) with excellent coverage. I don’t remember what their early opening schedule was before Vail. I think mountain management is pretty good here with avy work, grooming and getting things open. I skied harmony today- they have tons of snow, could have opened earlier- but kinda thin at the bottom- I’ve seen worse at the bottom

Whistler is really crowded on weekends or holidays. Ski during week or avoid Christmas to March.

I think long weekends in January are best with full vertical available.

I would add big powder days to the list of days to avoid. Lol

Christmas through mid-March is madness on weekends. March is my favorite month by far.

Last weekend was pretty quiet on the Blackcomb side. Outside of opening weekend and powder days, I find November and December to be tolerable once the footprint is large enough.

March is my favorite month by far.

The weekend madness does subside by then.

I have been impressed how logging town Squamish has been reborn.

I have been impressed how logging town Squamish has been reborn.

I never saw it pre-covid, but Squamish has certainly changed considerably in the past few years. It’s quite lovely. I sometimes stay overnight in Squamish if I’m in need of cheap accommodations and don’t want to hassle with day tripping.

This week’s weather could be a toss up. Whistler has a wave of storms incoming. Unfortunately, the freezing levels remain borderline and the mid-mountain elevations where snow is most needed (1700m and below) may not improve all that much if the storms trend warmer like they have so far this season. The alpine will for sure come out ahead.
