For those who can’t get enough of the snow, Whistler Blackcomb remains a paradise for skiing and snowboarding well into May. Thanks to the mountain’s high altitude, you’ll find excellent conditions for carving the slopes while enjoying quieter trails and shorter lift lines compared to the peak winter season. Don’t forget to take in the stunning views from the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, an iconic ride that connects Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.

As temperatures rise in the valley, spring unlocks an entirely new set of activities. Take a bike ride along the Valley Trail, a network of scenic pathways that meander through forests, lakes, and parks. For water enthusiasts, paddling across Alta Lake or canoeing down the River of Golden Dreams offers a tranquil and refreshing experience.

Golfers can also rejoice, as Whistler’s world-class courses begin to open for the season. From the breathtaking Nicklaus North Golf Course to the challenging Whistler Golf Club, there’s a green for everyone to perfect their swing.
