whistler: when is the best time

thinking of going to whistler, I hear that rain is a problem due to the
low elevation so I was wondering is there a best time of year to go to
avoid this problem. When is the best powder season?

Thanks

The highest snowfall occurs in December, then it reduces gradually
through March. Snowfall in April drops off. It can rain at the base
any month of the season, but the chance of rain on the upper
mountain is much less.

If fresh snow is what you're looking for, I'd suggest January
through February. The snowfall is greatest then, and the
temperatures are somewhat lower.
