Whistler Weather

Whistler’s mild climate, compared to resorts in the north of British Columbia, makes it a perfect destination for winter and summer breaks. With temperatures rarely below -10°C and superb snowfall, skiing in Whistler is fantastic, with the area enjoying perfect conditions.

Summer

Spring arrives in the valley in May, when flowers and trees start blooming. By June, most of the hiking and biking trails are free of snow and the days are usually long and hot, with temperatures reaching above 30°C. While July can bring intense storm cycles, they are generally short, with warmer, dryer weather being the norm for most of the month.

Winter

As September arrives, the days become markedly shorter and the longer nights get cooler. The start of September usually brings the first frost in the alpine region and by late September, frost has reached the valley. As November starts, strong Pacific storms set in over the mountains, obscuring the peaks for days on end. This marks the beginning of winter and by the end of November, skiers flock to the local mountains once again.
