‘Mother Nature has certainly presented us with challenges this season’
Bin Xie’s children typically spend spring break at ski camps but, after unseasonably warm and unpredictable weather upended much of this year’s ski season, his family decided to rent an RV to go camping in British Columbia’s Interior instead.
The resort, he said, is still hoping for an increase in last-minute reservations in March, when the resort typically sees an influx of visitors. He said it is working hard to ensure as many runs as possible remain open for skiers. Daniel Scott, a professor at the University of Waterloo who studies climate change and tourism, said it has been one of the “weirdest” ski seasons in recent history across the country.
“It’s been a strange winter, coast to coast across North America, U.S. and Canada,” Scott said. “This has been an anomaly that I don’t recall seeing, certainly in the last 20 years of studying the ski industry.” Dane Gergovich, a spokesman for Whistler-Blackcomb, said the resort was grateful it came ahead of the March break, a “peak period” for the resort.
