Date rule: BC Family Day and US Presidents' Day both fall on the third Monday of February
Whistler Blackcomb lists 13 and 14 February 2027 among its peak-price days, and Mt Seymour counts 13 to 15 February as holidays on its calendar. Alberta's Family Day lands on the same Monday. The Calgary Board of Education adds its teachers' convention on 11 and 12 February, so Calgary families get five days off from 11 to 15 February.
British Columbia stays at UTC−7 all year from November 2026. That puts BC an hour ahead of Washington until the US moves its clocks forward on 14 March 2027. Allow for the hour when you time the drive north to the border.
