Best Jackets for Whistler Winters

Picking out the right ski or snowboard jacket goes far beyond a simple choice of fashion. As your first line of defense against the elements, selecting the right jacket can go a long way to being warm and comfortable on the slopes.

It can be a real challenge to appropriately dress for activities in the Pacific Northwest, in the span of an hour you can experience warm rainy conditions at the base to howling icy winds in the alpine. Instead of playing jacket roulette the next time you’re in the market for new outerwear, have a read of our list of some of our go-to jackets for braving Whistler weather.
