Just in time for the season, here's the first Whistler Blackcomb Snowcast presented by TELUS. Expect more throughout the season, subscribe to the feed on iTunes or just get'em here as they come out. The first episode goes behind the scenes of what it takes to get the mountain ready for official opening...

The ultimate time bandit... Spanky's Ladder gone virtual. Check out the INTERACTIVE MAP. You could screenshot it and draw all your favourite lines on it. But then again, it's dumping today, so you could just go ski those lines instead. FORECAST is looking good. Enjoy.
