I'd much rather have the locals open later and have a good snow season, then have what had seemed to be a promising season at the start but ended up being shit for snow.

I'm gonna say early December for the locals.

Whis opens whenever they have enough snow. The schedule really doesn't mean anything. I cant believe i have to explain this to people... STILL

Whistler opened exactly on November 3rd in 2007. The peak chair opened the 17th and I skied ARGs my first day of the year (I was caught off-guard by the early opening and couldn't make it up). The lifty had never seen ARGs before and it blew his mind. It was -15 and sunny and there was a foot of fresh pow. It was un-fucking-believable.

I hope this year is more of the same.

That story just makes me feel all stoked and nice inside. Such good memories.

I'm gonna guess it'll open for the weekend of the 13th. Whistler always opens earlier than the date they say they will.

Whistler forecast at 2,284 metres (~7,400')

http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Whistler-Blackcomb/6day/top

Looks pretty good. Freezing levels fluctuating around 1300-1600 metres, maybe 40-70cm of snow in the next 6 days? I don't think we'll make a Nov 6th opening, but if this continues maybe a Nov 13th or 20th could be in the cards. Pray for more precip and low temps people!
