Current Whistler Weather Conditions |
|
Whistler's weather can change quickly, so your best option is to be prepared
for everything. While the temperatures are typically mild in the village (just
below freezing) it can cool down quickly when you travel one vertical mile to
the top of our mountains and the wind is blowing. Wearing layers of clothing
allows you the flexibility of adjusting your dress to suit the temperature and
goggles are a sheer necessity here. We rent and sell outerwear and accessories
that work in Whistler's climate.
