Whistler Mountain set to open this Saturday, November 18  

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 18 from 8:30am to 3pm. Blackcomb Mountain will open as planned on Thursday, November 23.

Whistler Blackcomb is whooping it up...there's a sick snow storm that is quickly covering the mountains in a thick coat of fresh snow.  Since the snow began falling last night, over 50 centimetres or 20 inches has been measured at the Pig Alley weather station at 1650m.
