WHISTLER, BC- November 13, 2006 – A massive winter storm that has blanketed Whistler resort since Thursday night in 75 centimeters or 30 inches of snow, has precipitated the announcement that the resort will open earlier than expected. Whistler Mountain will open for the season this Saturday, November 18th from 8:30am to 3pm.
SWEEEEET!!!!! : )
Looks like the quest for the 100 day season will begin shortly. For those needing more information about what makes Whistler Blackcomb the #1 Ski Resort in North America, here are some stats: Whistler Blackcomb is blessed with an average of 9.14 metres / 360 inches / 30 ft of snow per year on the summit. WB also has over 8,100 skiable acres with more than 200 trails, three glaciers and 33 lifts. Not to mention twelve alpine bowls, a 5,020 foot vertical rise and the longest run being 7 miles (one on each mountain). The hourly lift capacity between the two mountains is 59,007 skiers per hour!!!!
The next time you read the blog, it will be on opening day!
