Early Start in Whistler?
November 14, 2007
This is the time of year when it becomes evident that EVERYONE in Whistler is a ski bum at heart. The question is simple...will the mountain, or even better both mountains, open early? How long do we have to look at the gondolas or chairlifts hanging idle.
The snowmakers put down a dusting of snow earlier in the month but mother nature came through over the weekend with one of those huge West - or wet - Coast systems. It slammed into the lower mainland and Vancouver Island with a vengace. A few degrees warmer in resort and we would all be sitting inside watching movies this weekend.
As it stands, Whistler-Blackcomb will announce tomorrow if there is going to be an early season kick off.
Stay tuned and hope the ski bum in Hugh Smythe and the rest of the operations team comes out!
