The snow at Whistler isn't always wet. I have woken up there hundreds of times to 12" dumps of fresh dry powder.
As I said upthread, the higher altitude resorts in the US are more reliable when it comes to weather, and this is a key consideration for anyone booking a short vacation. However, if you are at Whistler on a good day, it is very hard to beat.
Here's a spring skiing picture looking towards the back bowls.
