Spring skiing is on, bringing operational changes – and we didn’t do a great job of explaining why certain things are happening as we made this shift yesterday. We should have been more out front about what to expect for the final weeks of spring + we apologize. With that in mind, we want to share a bit more as this transition to spring can be complex. Mtn closures happen annually in mid-April. This year, Whistler Mtn closed to prep for bike park opening, summer sightseeing + next winter’s operations. As such, spring skiing moved over to Blackcomb Mtn. We also need to take care of maintenance + prep work on both mtns, including lift maintenance on Blackcomb Gondola, as required by Technical Safety BC + our lift manufacturer. It’s also an essential part of our commitment to safety as we complete load testing and work on stations and towers. This must be done within spring, making it a bit tricky through May. To ensure compliance + maintain safety as our top priority, Blackcomb Gondola will close Mon-Fri through our final month. It will open Sat.-Sun. until our planned closing on May 22 (it will spin on closing day, too). We feel confident about managing during the week, but we definitely had a miss managing yesterday, complicated by the spring storm. Importantly, Glacier will spin daily through May 22. This means M-F, Excalibur, Excellerator, Jersey, Catskinner, 7th, Glacier & Crystal will spin Blackcomb Gondola will open Sat. + Sun. Please check the Lifts & Terrain Status page on our website + our Mtn Ops Twitter for real-time updates. We have ongoing maintenance/safety work through summer underway. We have a lot of lifts to care for + some have little down time due to nearly year-round operations. We appreciate your patience + support! Spring has sprung in Whistler + we have so much happening as we get ready for bike park opening, summer activities, upgrade Fitz, conduct necessary maintenance, and take our final turns of the ski season. We remain committed to ongoing communication so you know what to expect, too. We hope you join us soon + we appreciate your passion + feedback. - Doug Pierini, Interim COO & Doug Macfarlane, VP of Mountain Operations (2023-04-19)
