Before you drive to Whistler

Printable map

Highway 99 is the only road between Vancouver and Whistler. A crash or rockfall can close it with no detour. Here is what applies.

Winter tires or chains

BC requires winter tires (M+S or the mountain snowflake) or chains on Highway 99 north of Horseshoe Bay from October 1. Signs on the highway mark the zone and the end date.

When it closes

Closures come from crashes, rockfall and slides along Howe Sound. There is no alternate road between Squamish and Whistler, so a closure means waiting. Ski weekends bring heavy northbound traffic Saturday morning and southbound Sunday afternoon.

From Seattle

Cross at Blaine (Peace Arch or Pacific Highway), drive through Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay, then north on Highway 99. Border wait times are on the border page.
