Yup bad season for Whistler, but still good compared to most other resorts. Just under 30ft for the season.
Also, if the visitor numbers were (currently) higher, the mountain would still be open for Spring skiing. There is enough snow still, but it is easier to say 'closed for snow' rather than 'closed because it costs too much to run this mountain if no one is going to ski on it'

yep - we were there last weekend and the laps of West Bowl from the peak were a delight on very good cover. It was pretty deserted on Monday tho.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

wbsr, Have been thinking of going to Whistler in April 2010. Do you know what is the earliest date that Whistler Mountain has been closed at the end of the Winter/Spring season?

Iski, I skied there in mid May a couple of years back. Bottom third of the mountain was closed to skiers (open to MTB-ers - and bears ). April should be sound, apart from the prices and queues. Or will the Olympics be long gone by then?

andyph, Apparently they should be and it also seems they think most of the visitors will be gone with them. Not good for the resort but hopefully good for me if I do manage to go

Iski, I think you have a cunning plan

Whistler hosts the annual World Ski and Snowboard festival every April, so that should indicate the reliability of snow in April (although generally the lower mountain is closed or close to being closed)
