Whistler Blackcomb Sets Up For Long Spring, Introduces March Family Month

But the tally of snowfall for this season cruised to 1,059 centimeters and 413 inches by Feb. 20. Those totals surpassing the average are setting the resort up for a long spring ski season. Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains are scheduled to operate through April 25 with Blackcomb Mountain remaining open until May 23.

March has been declared Family Month when kids get free deals. Kids can get free lift tickets, stay free, and get free rental gear. The special kids free deals are only available with phone reservations, not online. Kids can also dine free at select restaurants at Whistler in March.
