Why Spring Skiing in April is Different

April brings a calm and quiet charm to Whistler’s slopes. The holiday crowds are gone, leaving wide-open runs and a relaxed atmosphere. Imagine having the mountain almost all to yourself, where every turn feels like you have the whole mountain to yourself. It’s an experience every skier and snowboarder should try.

Blackcomb: Spring Skiing Hotspots

While Whistler begins the transition to summer operations in mid-April, Blackcomb keeps the lifts running. The longer daylight hours give you more time to enjoy the slopes. Whether you’re skiing early in the morning or soaking up the sun during après-ski, there’s something magical about this time of year.

Don’t Miss the World Ski & Snowboard Festival

The World Ski & Snowboard Festival is a spring highlight in Whistler. Since 1996, this event has celebrated snow sports, music, art, and community vibes. It’s a must-see for spring visitors, offering unforgettable experiences. Make sure to check out this amazing event April 7 – 13, 2025. Whiski Jack offers 25% off lodging during the festival with no promo code needed!

Tips for Making the Most of Spring Skiing

Follow these tips to enjoy your spring skiing adventure to the fullest:

  1. Start Early
    Hit the slopes at sunrise for freshly groomed runs. The Whistler side warms up earlier, making it ideal for morning skiing.
  2. Time Your Skiing
    As the day goes on, snow softens under the sun. By late morning, head to alpine groomers for the best conditions.
  3. Pack for All Weather
    Spring weather can be unpredictable. Bring extra layers, sunscreen, and sunglasses to stay comfortable throughout the day.
