umm i ski mostly in vancouver but for me spring skiing is some of my favorite. you get tons of sunny days and the landings in the park are really soft, if you are looking for big mountain though im not sure if its the best time for you to come.

The springsnow backcountry is pretty fun in April. There might be a few pow days but i wouldnt count on it . There will be a fuckload of really technical lines that you can ski on corn snow.

Backcountry Pow or backcountry in general? sometimes spring snow can get really sticky icky, i ski vancouver mainly like pencilsteeze above, but it shouldnt be too big of an issue at whistler.

it's not a bad idea, but it's not the best if you prefer backcountry. march is probably better, februrary even better. of course, this is all weather dependant
