Whistler Extends Ski Season Until June 2008

Wow, as if we didn't get enough skiing/snowboarding so far this season!
The rest of the world's resorts are closing their terrain, but good ol' Whistler Blackcomb keep delivering the goods.
This is one of the best seasons I remember in the history of Whistler, although the last few days have been more than a little wierd - just yesterday it snowed, rained and then the sun shone in a matter of 30 minutes. I, like most Whistlerites, was a little confused, but not phased, we've come to expect crazy days like these.

When we first came to live in Whistler in 2003, my hubby and I changed clothes or added or removed layers of clothing several times a day. After a year, we got the hang of it and finally had a Whistler wardrobe which is what you'll need to get through comfortably.

Anyway, back to the ski season: Whistler mountain remains open until April 20th. Spring skiing is open on Blackcomb from April 21 until June 8th.
Right now the approximate snow base is around 265cm and there are an estimated 3,000 acres waiting for ya until the first week of June.
So to all of you ski and snowboard bunnies out there, if you haven't got your fill yet, grab your bikinis and get out onto the sunny slopes!
Wishing ya all a good ride...
