A ridge of high pressure will produce a sunny day, with spring skiing on Thursday. Get out and enjoy that one. There will be increasing clouds on Friday with a weather front moving in. Expect new snowfall in the alpine later Friday into Saturday. An impressive 4-9” of new snow, between mid-day Friday and Saturday is possible.

High pressure will build back in for sunny spring skiing on Sunday.

The season for Whistler will wrap up this Sunday April 22, but Blackcomb Mountain will remain open until May 21. As a result there is plenty more skiing to go. If you’ve never skied Blackcomb during the late season, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Coverage is great and the snow remains good in the upper alpine. The longer days are fantastic for skiing, then biking in and around the Village for the late afternoon.
