Whistler Ski Season 2007/2008 opens November 22

Book this date on your calendars, November 22, 2007. It’s when Whistler Blackcomb opens for the new ski season ahead. As I’m writing you this September 30th, Whistler has already had snow, 3 days of snow and counting. In the week to come there are forecasted 4-25 cm (approx. 2-10inches) per day.

Last year the early snowfall allowed the season to start 2 weeks earlier than scheduled. Let’s hope this year is the same.

An early season start means there will be a lot of Whistler ski runs open right off the bat, with a good snow base. Not all ski runs will be open on the first day, but a good mix of beginner to advanced trails will be available for all levels of skiers and snowboarders alike.

All of you regular skiers, buy your ski passes before October 8th, and save $340.
