More iffy at Whistler than Breck due to lower altitude and proximity to the Pacific coast. I'd go with Breck for all the same reasons Jim W. & Crikey wrote.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/Job-Search-Resources.htm"> Live to Ski</a> Both are great ski areas, however, almost anywhere is iffy in mid-December.

There is snow making on many slopes but unless it is cold that is chancy. For the best party, Whistler, for the best snow, if I could predict the future I'd know what 6 numbers to play for tonight's Lotto drawing. Try to delay making a commitment until much later in the year. By Thanksgiving you may know about Whistler. Have fun. The best snow for Whistler is usually in late January to late March. If it rains in the Village, then it is snowing on top. 5000 foot of elevation means rain at the bottom, corn in the mid station and powder in the back bowls.<a href="http://www.greatjewelrydesign.com/stationary-316"> Jim W</a> In a good snow year in the PNW Whistler may still be iffy before Christmas.

It usually starts to snow a lot December 1st, most years mid December is one of my favorite times to ski Breck. It's the safe choice, but I do warn you to go during the week because the weekends are CROWDED Whistler, on the other hand, could rain all week in January. I've been twice and it rained the first time, and was in the 50s the second time. Both mid January. However, the week before I was there both times, it snowed 4-5 feet. This season, Whistler had a record breaking unbelievably snowy November. It didn't snow for 5 weeks after that. So if you want an absolutely massive mountain and are willing to gamble for either amazing, deep snow or terrible snow: Whistler If you want a very large, but certainly no Whistler, mountain with guaranteed (if MAYBE thin) snow: Breckenridge To be honest, I'd choose Whistler. Maybe because I grew up skiing Breck, but because even on crap snow I still had an awesome time at Whistler. I can only speak for expert skiers, though.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/universities/science-degree.htm"> Crikey a Wild Ski Bum</a> Breck and Whistler are my favorite ski areas
