I bought my day ticket online to save a few bucks. It was Feb 6 2025 with beautiful sunshine but a very cold morning. Reportedly there was not as much snow as normal but I wouldn't have noticed. Conditions were good. There were no lines. All was fine and had a great day. Turns out a movie was also being filmed in the village that day. Friendly people.

Just 3-4 hours away from Vancouver. Totally worth a visit. I was there between Christmas and New Years Eve and there was almost no line up at the chairlifts. The daypass is much cheaper than Whistler.
