I live in YVR. I have been on the slopes both skiing and boarding all over the planet.

Trust me, there is no winter outdoor experience greater than W-B. I was so disppointed skiing many places that are so famous as they don't come remotely close to W-B.

I figure I have been on the mountain 40+ times in the past 5 years...and still I have not been on every run. Here is what I mean. Choose "Interactive Stats" on that page for a true wakeup call.

I LOVE the Chateau (I am 32 SWM). You must stay in Whister Village, where does not matter.

Best bet IMO for out of country visitors is to stay 7 days. Why? Weather is highly variable and with 7 days you are bound to get a minimum of 2 that are breathtaking. Being coastal mountains means you get great snow...but also a lot of cloud and sometimes rain in the village. I can remember a number of times skiing the top 1/2 of the mountain (still bigger than most on the planet) and coming down in the gondola to rain. I can also remember some sunburns!

Here are the live cams.
