It's Official: Opening Day Nov. 14, 2009 Whistler Blackcomb

Whistler Blackcomb has announced today it will open Saturday Nov. 14, 2009!!!  twelve days earlier than the scheduled Nov. 26th date.  70-100cm (up to 3ft) of snow in the last week (and counting!!!).... has prompted WB to open early.  The only question now is, what time do I dare get into the queue for the Whistler gondola?  Remember the lineup on Opening Day last season?
