8 Whistler Tips to Maximize Fun on your Vacation

1. Keeping a weather eye on the snow forecasts and webcams helps to plan your ski day in order to make the most of your time in Whistler. Of course, to ensure winter sports safety, it is also important to be aware of the avalanche forecasts during a stay in the resort.

2. Beat the crowds – get up and out early! Do fresh tracks have your breakie on the top of mountain and get the first runs in. And since you’ve eaten breakfast early – go for lunch early too, heading in around 10:30 or 11:00 means you will get in and out without waiting in lines and standing while you eat!

3. Take a lesson – It never hurts to brush up on your tree skiing skills and if you’re looking for something really different you can ski with an Olympian.

4. Apres early – since you’ve been on the hill since before sunrise, you’ve put in a full day by 3 and you’re good to go put those feet up and enjoy one of the epic Whistler Apres spots. If you’re not sure where to go check out the list of locals top picks here.

7. Travel Light – you’re taking a family vacation and one of the family members just happens to be recently born!
