Snowfall in Whistler more than half of annual average
There’s a reason skiing in Whistler is consistently ranked the number one place to ski in the world: the conditions and amenities are truly the best North America has to offer. And with an average annual snowfall of 1,022 cm (33.5 feet), it’s a safe bet that when you ski in Whistler, you ski on fresh powder delivered by Mother Nature. Already this year, Whistler Blackcomb has joyfully welcomed 631 cm (20.7 feet) of heavenly whiteness to its slopes. That’s more than half of the average annual snowfall in Whistler. And with a ski season lasting through early June, travelers can expect to experience prime conditions for the next several months.
Whistler BC Canada saw higher than average snowfalls in November and December 2007. Many travelers taking advantage of the early season skiing enjoyed conditions usually expected in January and February. And since as of today the mountain has surpassed its average snowfall for the entire month of January, Whistler Blackcomb is an even more attractive place to visit. A ski resort full of natural powder is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the winter months. But when that resort is already world renowned for its greatness and receiving more snowfall that usual, the destination grows in popularity.
Snowfall in Whistler is one of the top reasons people across the globe travel to Whistler BC Canada for a ski vacation. The area accommodates travelers of all ages and skill levels on and off the slopes. Whistler Blackcomb is a gorgeous winter haven that seems to be in line for another record-breaking snowfall. If you haven’t already made plans to visit Whistler in 2008, you still have time to find lodging in Whistler. But act quickly; the deeper into the ski season, the harder it becomes to locate the perfect Whistler accommodations.
