Game On!  Whistler Opens Nov. 14th:
Rainbow Flag Flies High on WhistlerWhistler Mountain OPENING this Saturday, Nov. 14 - that's 12 days earlier than the official opening day on Nov. 26. A series of storms have pummeled Whistler Blackcomb, dropping 70cm-100cm over the last seven days. Another 65cm of snow is expected to fall by Saturday. The Mountain operations crews have been hard at work preparing the mountain, including the Snowmaking Team, which has more than 160+ snowguns blasting to compliment Mother Nature's white gold.
 
Whistler Mountain is opening this weekend with upload via the Whistler Village Gondola. Skiing will be available via Franz's Chair, Emerald Express and Big Red Express.
 
Early season conditions are in effect so keep an eye out for unmarked rocks and obstacles. Please stay within the ski area boundaries and obey all mountain signage. Groomed runs are recommended.

Greetings from Whistler, ! 

The Village is electric with huge fluffy snow flakes falling down to the village and the announcement that WB will open this weekend for Cornucopia.  Now, if my memory serves me correct in 1997/98 season we had a stellar summer, awesome fall and an early opening with record breaking snow!  In fact that season our average base was around 400cm and Baker broke the world record of over 100 feet of snow that season!  I feel we could be on a repeat for this coming season and I am so excited! 

Reminder that our Super Early Bird discounts will expire in the next FIVE Days (Nov. 15th) so if you have not booked your accommodation or event tickets we do suggest doing it right away.  You can book with confidence knowing you will get the best rate guaranteed

WinterPRIDE Event Tickets are now on sale!  Book early and save!
