So im going to whistler for spring break this year for the first time, and i wondering what the snow conditions were like out there in april, i live in ohio so my ski season ends early march. I was also wondering if the altitude will be a problem, i went to keystone last year and i was dying from the altitude. So any feed back would be greatly apreciated. Thanks A Bunch

Well to sign a release from liability form I'm pretty sure you need to be 18.

The base elevation of Keystone is higher than the TOP of Blackcomb mountain, so don't worry about altitude.

March into April can be divine. Who knows what will happen as a per day/meek/month basis, but generally some storms start lining right up that time of year and just nuke in this region. Compared to Ohio or Colorado (or most of it anyway), Whistler gets a shitton of snow.

Oh of course. For some reason I thought you were going alone/with friends but the fact that you are 15 should have tipped me off to the fact that this is a family trip. My bad. And have fun!
