Whistler in February

Peak ski season runs December through February — powder's best, but so are the crowds and prices. March offers great snow with longer days and slightly fewer people. Summer transforms Whistler completely. June through August brings mountain biking, hiking, and the famous Whistler Mountain Bike Park. July is perfect weather but peak summer pricing. September offers beautiful fall colors and smaller crowds, though some alpine activities start shutting down. Shoulder seasons (April-May and October-November) can be tricky — lifts might be closed for maintenance, and weather's unpredictable. But you'll find the best deals if you're flexible.
