AVERAGE ALPINE TEMPERATURES

Temperatures are approximately 7 to 10°C cooler on top of the mountain than in the Valley. Due to Whistler’s coastal proximity, temperatures are moderate through the winter season, rarely dipping below -10°C (12°F) in the Village and -15°C (5°F) in the alpine during the coldest part of the year. Expect -5°C (22°F) average daily alpine temperatures during most of the winter months.

NOVEMBER — FEBRUARY Low -12°C / 11°F
High -5°C / 23°F
MARCH — MAY Low -8°C / 19°F
