up!’s 2007 spring-skiing value guide
It’s been a wacky ski season across the Great White North. One of the best early seasons in recent memory in Western Canada was tempered with a green Christmas in Eastern Canada, meaning a good chunk of Canucks have been playing peek-a-boo with the snow gods since bringing out their planks from the garage last fall.
But with the season winding down, there’s no more time—or money—to waste. Read on for up!’s semi-scientific primer (hey, we have averages and local knowledge and stuff) for where to find the snow, sun and fun this March and April, complete with value picks from resorts looking to stretch their season and profits.
So before you grab your softshell and shades, check out our hot picks for dressing cool when the sun is shining on the slopes, as well as some cutting-edge snow sports to try if you’re sick of skis and bored of boarding (poor baby).

This season’s launch of the Symphony Amphitheatre—new terrain running from Flute Bowl to Piccolo Peak—makes hitting Whistler in spring the envy of skiers and riders across the continent.
