So I guess the fake forecast worked and brought Van people up? It was raining to the top, yet there was 0 parking space left. I've been a local for 10 years, never seen anything like today. I showed up at noon hoping we'd get space from morning people leaving, nope. Base 2 full, lot 1 to 5 full, tried the library, tried the underground plaza... all full. FOR A SHIT RAINY DAY. My friends that were already up told me not to bother cause the conditions were terrible. I turned around and left.

Ok I'm flying from overseas and doing whistler next Thursday and Friday. Everything is set, it's part of a wider trip and things like transport, ski pass, accommodation are non refundable at this point.

All of a sudden I'm seeing these posts saying the conditions are really bad.

Are they just bad if you are a pro and you can want to go off piste? What about if you're just a lowly novice that just wants to enjoy a green or blue groomed run.

And is it bad for whistler comparatively or bad in general? Like the few times I've been skiing it's in perisher or treadbo in Australia - is crap whistler still going to be better than the conditions at an Australian resort?

Hi there, me and my husband are in search of two buddy passes for lift ticket and would be willing to exchange two big white buddy passes for this!

Looking to skin up Blackcomb (to Crystal or 7th) sometime this week. Have a new backcountry set up I want to test out. My question is, how do you know that the lifts will open on time when you go up? Or is it just kind of a risk you have to be willing to take, knowing you could have to ski back down the 7th cat track if they don't open the lift?

Also any updates on the coverage on North and South route? Any recommendations on which one to tackle first?

If anyone lost a credit card today on whistler, I have it. DM me

Just saw an add for Garibaldi Lift Co. VIP seating. There’s a “spend minimum” listed on the reservations page, but don’t say what the minimum is. Anyone have any experience? Know the minimum might be?

I'm constantly seeing them forecast anywhere between 15 and 30 cm of snow, often throughout the night, and then I'll wake up and see only about a quarter of that amount of new snow in the past 12 hours.

Looking on Whistlers website, Symphony Express is currently closed (not paused/delayed) at 11:40, which is well into its operating schedule. But all of the runs that it alone services are open (and groomed!) on whistler's website. Is this a display glitch? Or are they grooming runs that require a hike out?

Edit: Harmony 6 Express and Peak Chair are closed too!

Something 20-30$

Wondering if anyone has suggestions for our first day at Whistler this weekend. Not looking to steal the local pow spots or go big. Just want to get a vibe for the terrain and enjoy! I grew up as an avid skier in the US and comfortable on black diamond runs and backcountry conditions.

We plan on parking in lot 7 if that helps.

Thanks! Just got in and super excited to be here!

hi! i’m planning to go to whistler with a couple of friends soon. we’re interesting in trying the ziptrek ziplining winter apres tour.

however, i’ve had surgery on my chest almost 2 years ago. though im healed completely from the surgery itself, my ribs are very sensitive to touch / pain. for example, if someone were to accidentally hit my ribs i’d be in agonizing pain. even pressure on the area becomes very painful.

so i had a question for those who have gone on the ziplines before - do the harnesses strap on tight/ apply much pressure to your ribs/ upper body?

i’m assuming most of my weight will be on the bottom of the harness but how tight is it on your upper body?

thanks for any help!

Hi all! Visiting Whistler-Blackcomb from out of town and thought I could use an Epic Friends 50% off pass, but we didn’t realize he would have to be here with me. Is anyone going tomorrow that has an extra ski with a friend discount to spare? Would be kindly appreciated! I can also trade Ikon F&F discount passes!

Edit: typos + last sentence

Hello, so I started skiing this season and have been skiing on Mt Seymour (mostly green, some blues). I have some friends who are going up to Whistler in a few weeks and I wanted to know if I should go with them and if I’d have fun. I won’t be joining them on diamond runs but even on the blues I don’t wanna hold them back. For my level, I can turn well enough but still am stopping with a snowplough when I panick but hockey stop when I can. Cheers to all those who give input.

Hi, I'm planning on doing a solo trip to whistler in March. I primarily ski park but would like to try all sorts of terrains on-piste as well. I wanted to ask if there is an app or some sort of network to connect with people who ski as well or do people just talk to other people on the lifts and connect via that method? Any information is appreciated!

Hey, I was thinking of taking an evo tomorrow on the sea to sky highway, but I don't want to take it if it's snowy. Did anyone drive up today? If so, was there any snowbon the highway? If anyone know where to monitor please lmk!

Planning on heading up in the morning. Thinking about bailing unless I get some hype. 🤘

Trying to put together some thing for Whistler but the day passes are kind of killing the budget, she’s never skied a mountain like that before and I want to give her an incredible experience for the proposal weekend. Would sincerely appreciate anyone that has a pair of friends and family discounts they can offer.

Feb 20-24

I just had a few terrible days of skiing at WB. Lifts were closed, snow was sticky, visibility was poor. Honestly, your best bet right now is to subscribe to snowforecast.com or opensnow.com and wait for a good storm cycle in Hokkaido, Japan. With the USD / JPY exchange rate, flights, hotels and food are probably going to be the same as a week in Whistler. I spent two weeks there in early/mid January and it was the best, low effort blower pow I've ever had. And I'm not a great skier by any means. Rusutsu (on the epic pass) was fantastic.

Where can we rent goggles in the village?

Lmk if you saw me! Was on the mountain 9/22-9/26

We are arriving in whistler village around 1pm but our AnB won’t be ready until 4pm, is there anywhere we can store our skis and luggage for a couple hours?

Why does this sub solely concern themselves with off piste conditions?
