Whistler, BC – Skiers and snowboarders will be gearing up a little bit sooner than anticipated when Whistler Mountain opens one day earlier than scheduled, on Wednesday, November 23.

Early season snowfall in the alpine combined with a helping hand from the largest fleet of snowmaking equipment in North America led Whistler Blackcomb to announce last week that Whistler Mountain will open one day earlier than expected, on Wednesday, November 23. Blackcomb Mountain will open as scheduled on Thursday, November 24.

Snow has been steadily stacking up in the alpine, with Whistler Blackcomb recording 107 cm of cumulative snowfall so far this season, with more on the way. The forecast is calling for 35 cm to 45 cm of snow expected to hit the mountains before Friday.

Tremblant Resort in Quebec will also open this Thursday.
