Whistler Mountain in British Columbia is opening on Saturday for skiing, almost a week earlier than planned, thanks to a big storm that dropped almost three feet of snow on the mountain on Monday. More snow and cold weather is expected this week and next.
The adjacent Blackcomb Mountain will open as planned on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22.
Whistler Mountain will have access from both its Whistler Village and Creekside bases with a limited number of upper lifts open. A rail park will be set up near the Emerald Express lift.
There's currently a base of about 43 inches of snow in the alpine area, with a dusting down in Whistler Village. Skiers and boarders should be cautious since it will be early-season conditions.
