Which height to ski
At Ski Callaghan, the freezing level reaches 1,260 m to 2,050 m on 3 November, above the top of the resort (998 m): rain or wet snow is possible on every slope that day.
At Mount Cain Alpine Park, the freezing level reaches 2,060 m to 2,270 m on 3 November, above the top of the resort (1,616 m): rain or wet snow is possible on every slope that day.
At Whistler Blackcomb, the freezing level reaches 1,680 m to 2,240 m on 3 November, so the lower slopes may get wet snow while the top stays wintry.

Tips for skiers
- Forecasts a few days ahead can change: look at the map again the day before you travel.
- Where the freezing level goes above the resort, plan for wet snow and use the highest lifts.
- Fresh snow is best in the first hours after it stops: go early, before the sun and the crowds.
- Before you ski off-piste or go touring, read the official avalanche bulletin (links below).
- Get a powder alert in the SnowScope app to know when Ski Callaghan gets fresh snow.
About these numbers
Resort snow depths are the deepest snow on the resort's upper slopes from the SnowScope snow model (about 1 km, run of 3 November); they are estimates for an area, not a measurement at one point. Station values are measurements on the date shown. Forecasts can change. Always read the official avalanche bulletin before going off-piste.
