Frequently asked
Will the sunset be good tonight in Whistler?
The live score above pulls today's forecast and runs it through GoldCast's scoring model. Above 70 is worth going out. Below 40, stay home. The score updates daily.
What makes a good sunset in Whistler?
Whistler sits in a tight valley between two major peaks, which means direct sunlight leaves the valley floor before official sunset. Alta Lake is the best foreground: flat water reflecting alpenglow on Whistler and Blackcomb. The elevated vantage points on the lower mountain give you a longer light window and better angles on the sky. Summer is the reliable season. After a coastal system clears through, the air sharpens and the remaining cloud catches color well.
What time is sunset in Whistler tonight?
Whistler sunset ranges from around 4:15 PM in December to 9:10 PM in June, though direct valley light fades earlier due to the mountain ridgeline. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
