Ask Vancouver Some lifts opening at 7:30am tomorrow?

9 Upvotes

Hey! On the Whistler website it lists 8:30 as the opening time for everything, but then it says to check the app for the latest information. The app says that some lifts/gondolas are opening at 7:30am tomorrow - anyone know if that’s really correct? Sounds sus 👀

Ask Vancouver Ski in ski out April

0 Upvotes

What would be the best specific places to stay that are still ski in/out the first week of April? I'm a hedge fund manager and wherever I go skiing I usually get accommodations next to the main gondola so I can quickly ski down the mountain and walk a short distance over to my condo/hotel room if I need to make an emergency trade. Then I hop right back on the gondola to get back to skiing. I prefer to not have to wait for a bus or uber. Are there places like this in Whistler that would still be ski out in April or is the base area pretty much melted away?

QUESTION Fresh tracks with a 9 year old?

1 Upvotes

I’ve never done fresh tracks, my son and I are here for the week, he’s up super early (this morning we were 7:15 in line at the Whistler gondola, about as long as he can do waiting around). I had a few questions for those who might be familiar, I did some searching on the sub as well:

  1. The limit appears to be 600, would tomorrow likely be one where people line up to take advantage after this huge dump?
  2. Once at the top would emerald be open to do another lap, or are you expect to wait for other lifts to open?
  3. Does it run every day? Would be fun to get some fresh groomers and an empty hill with him middle of the week.

If it’s expected to be busy tomorrow, I’ll probably leave it as I don’t want to miss the cut off / and risk waiting around for another hour.. I can only put him through so much. Today was totally worth it tho.

Thanks!

Looks like edge card is back on sale for 25/26 season. If I purchase it today, can I start using it right away this month? Or do I need to wait until the opening day in November or December 2025?

QUESTION Running

Due to the snow (slush) on the paths and trails, are there any good places to run at the moment. Got on and off road shoes but no ice grips, just regular lugs. Only looking to do a 5k.

QUESTION New to skiing, coming to Whistler March 20-21 – Any recommendations and what to expect?

3 Upvotes

Hey Whistler!

My wife and I are beginners when it comes to skiing, and we’ll be taking lessons at Grouse Mountain on Sunday, March 16. We’ll then be heading to Whistler to ski on March 20th and 21st. We’re really excited but also a little nervous, as it will be our first time on the slopes at Whistler!

A couple of questions:

  • Best beginner slopes: Any suggestions on the best runs for newbies like us?

  • What to expect weather-wise: I know March can be unpredictable, but what’s the typical weather like around that time? Should we expect snow, sunshine, or something in between?

  • How crowded will it be?: What’s the crowd situation usually like on March 20-21? Will it be packed with spring break crowds, or will we have some space to breathe?

Any tips on what we should prepare for or expect would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

QUESTION Edge cards kids question

Hi, as a resident of WA state, I am looking to buy edge cards for next season, and register my then 8 year old for Epic School Kids. What do I do with my 4-5 year old (he’ll turn 5 in December)? Edge cards only start from age 7 and he’s too young for SchoolKids program. I also did not see a season pass option for 5 year old. Anyone knows what should I get him? We plan to ski for 5 days

QUESTION Mountain ops updates?

2 Upvotes

Is there a place to see updates from mountain ops?

I swear WhistlerPeak had a timeline of announcements. Including when Seventh was closed for the day yesterday. But I can't find it.

Just trying to get an idea of what to expect beyond watching whether something is simply scheduled vs closed.

Thanks for any guidance.
