An interesting rock pillar in Whistler's Upper Bowls.

With all the rain we’ve been having in the Lower Mainland, soft fluffy snowflakes have been falling from the sky in the Coast Mountains making for a very promising early season at Whistler Blackcomb. Whistler was originally scheduled to open on November 26th, but with over 3 feet of fresh snow in the last week and another 2 feet expected by the weekend, the resort has announced it will open early on Saturday, November 14th!

If you have the rest of the week off and you can’t wait for the weekend to go riding all that fresh powder, Mount Baker will be opening on Thursday, November 12th (which is nearly a month earlier than last year) with plenty of knee-deep powder for everyone to enjoy. It looks like this is going to be another solid year of big  fluffy dumps in the Pacific Northwest.
