Easter 2025 Weekend in Whistler: A Spring Escape for the Whole Family

Whistler is a renowned ski resort nestled in the heart of British Columbia, Canada, known for its stunning alpine views, diverse terrain, and vibrant apres-ski scene. Easter in Whistler is a unique time to visit, especially in 2025, as the holiday falls a little later this year on April 20th. This extended winter season makes it the perfect destination for skiing, snowboarding, and all types of winter sports enthusiasts looking to enjoy fresh powder on the slopes. The village will be alive with music, dining experiences, and plenty of fun family-friendly activities. Whether you’re hitting the slopes, indulging in world-class cuisine, or exploring unique local shops, Whistler is the place to be this Easter.

Spring Skiing in Whistler

As Easter falls later this year on April 20th, Whistler is the perfect destination for spring skiing. With longer days and stronger sunshine, the conditions on the slopes are ideal. The snow is typically softer and more forgiving, making it easier for both beginners and experienced skiers to enjoy the mountains. The milder temperatures during this time of year also make it more comfortable to ski for longer periods. Plus, March is often the snowiest month for Whistler Blackcomb, which means you can expect great snow conditions extending into late April for a longer and more enjoyable ski season.

Food

Easter is the perfect time to give yourself a sweet treat. Here are our favourite recommendations for unique sweet treats in Whistler:

Rocky Mountain Chocolate

Just a few steps from the Whistler Gondola is the finest handmade chocolate shop, “Rocky Mountain Chocolate,” A big teddy bear sits in front of the store, so it’s super easy to find. There are seasonal products throughout the year, and Bunny-shaped Chocolate statues and Chocolate balls like eggs are famous at Easter.

Portobello

Portobello is located in the Upper Village and offers guests fabulous pastries and mouth-watering treats. Easter is the perfect excuse to indulge in their cake donuts (our favourite is the Boston cream with maple-cured bacon) and signature squares.

Shops

Instead of hunting for eggs, hunting for unique Whistler souvenirs for your family and friends is a great way to explore Whistler Village.

Carlbergs Gift Shop

This family-owned gift store, located across the Village Stroll from the Crystal Lodge, is a must-go souvenir shop to get local and Whistler-featured items. They always display seasonal toys and gifts. Carlbergs also prides itself on supporting local artists with its large selection of local crafts.
