What it's like in January
Is January the right month?
The best month in Whistler is August (8.2/10), 7.7 pts higher than January.
Our verdict
Whistler-Blackcomb is North America's largest ski resort : 3300 hectares, 200 pistes, 2 mountains linked by the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola (the world's longest unsupported cable car). 2010 Winter Olympics host. July-August are my favorite months (8.8/10): 54-75°F, 24-28% rain, good for MTB at Whistler Bike Park (the world's best) and hikes to Garibaldi Lake.
Plan your trip
