Spring & SNOW Have Arrived

Mar. 24, 2005

Spring has officially arrived according to the calendar, but an intense Pacific front system that brought 86 CM (almost 3 feet!) of snow to the mountains over the last week, heralds the return of winter to Whistler Blackcomb.

"The new snow has enabled us to open an incredible amount of terrain with great powder conditions. We have moved from 50% of our terrain open to 85%," Says Bob Du Four, Vice President of Mountain Operations. "Guests taking their spring break here at Whistler Blackcomb will have more than 6,900 acres to tear into with some of the best conditions we've seen all season."
