What is La Niña and Why Does It Matter?

La Niña is a climate pattern that occurs when ocean temperatures in the Pacific cool, creating ripple effects on global weather. For Whistler, this typically means more snow, colder conditions, and an extended ski season—conditions that make this world-class resort even better.

Why La Niña is a Big Deal for Whistler

1. More Snow, More Fun

La Niña winters are renowned for heavier-than-average snowfall, and Whistler is no exception. With fresh powder piling up regularly, the slopes are set to be in incredible condition for skiing and snowboarding. From pristine groomers to untouched backcountry runs, this is the winter to experience Whistler’s legendary terrain.

2. Ideal Ski and Snowboard Conditions

Colder temperatures during a La Niña winter help preserve the snowpack, ensuring great conditions from early season to spring. Whether you’re a beginner carving the greens or a pro tackling the double blacks, the consistency and quality of the snow will elevate your time on the mountain.
