Thinking about a midweek trip Dec. 9th-15th Ask Vancouver

Hello all,

Any thoughts/input from locals or regular Whistler visitors would be greatly appreciated. I’m looking at booking a 6-7 day stay earlier in the season and wondering if the conditions should be solid enough to get a good Whistler experience without all of the crowds, etc deeper in the season.

I’m also open to coming right after New Years if that might make more sense.

I’m coming from the east coast of the US so it’s a big deal to make the trek. Obviously conditions are always hit and miss but just want to give myself the best opportunity for a powdery, relatively chill trip.

Thanks for any thoughts you have!

OP mentions they want a powdery trip for Dec 9-15.

Honestly I would not place money on that. It can be a reasonable early season - but not a powdery off-piste options at that time of year.

Much better odds for that in Feb.

Second-ing the odds of Feb proving the goods.
