BRITISH COLUMBIA - Who would think of visiting a top-rated ski resort when the slopes were bare?

Turns out so many do at British Columbia’s Whistler-Blackcomb that summer numbers now rival winter ones.

One reason is that turnover is much quicker. The average summer stay is two nights, compared with seven to 10 when the snow flies. Another is the deals on accommodations — standard rooms starting from $99 per night, and luxury ones from $139.

There's always lots to do in the Whistler / Blackcomb / Squamish area in the summertime.

Whistler officially kicked off summer in a fitting way yesterday afternoon, as Momentum Ski Camps hosted their first annual "Splashdown" event on the Blackcomb Base II Water Ramp facilities. The unique event, which not only pits pros and campers against one another, featured awards for different categories such as fun jump, best trick, and the ever-important spin to win.

The event drew some pretty big heavy-hitters including the likes of Colby West, Justin Dorey, Mike Riddle, among others. Noticeably absent from the event was Bobby Brown, who opted to session the Camp of Champions kicker into the sunset.

Summer temperatures are finally forecast to hit B.C. this week, but up at the top of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, the resort is reopening for some out-of-season snowshoeing, skiing, boarding and tubing.

The spring weather on the West Coast has been cool and cloudy this year and the past winter's record snowfall is still hanging on, leaving parts of the alpine as a winter wonderland, according spokeswoman Lauren Everest.

Ready for snowshoeing, skiing, boarding and tubing in the summer? Head up to Whistler while the snow lasts.
