The Canadian resort of Whistler will fire up five lifts this weekend thanks to cold weather, snowmaking and heavy snowfall
One half of North America’s largest ski area will open this weekend, thirteen days ahead of schedule.
Whistler Mountain at Whistler Blackcomb will now open on Saturday, thanks to cold temperatures, intensive snowmaking and heavy snowfall.
Five lifts will be in operation and guests will have the option of uploading from the Whistler Village or Creekside gondolas, with three lifts running higher up the mountain. Blackcomb Mountain will open as scheduled on 28 November.
A statement from Whistler said: "Thanks to oodles of snow, Whistler Mountain will open 13 days early this season. Whistler is renowned, season upon season, for being the number one ski resort for guaranteed snow - lots of it - and this winter will be no exception."

Global warming is just great….more snow????
slip sliding away
Damn that global warming!
Good, I’ll be Hongcouver in December.
Snowing at alta and park city today. Snowbird opens in 5 days.
Skiing for thanksgiving.
Global what??
—wonder how the Arctic Ocean ice cover is doing—?
A couple of the ski resorts here in North Idaho/Eastern Washington are opening tomorrow, the rest next week. Normally they are thrilled if they can open on Thanksgiving weekend.
Spring is coming EARLIER and EARLIER. Haven’t heard the frauds on the left say that for a while.
Have to wait until March to go this year. Hope the snow is deep by then.
Thanks for posting. My daughter works in Whistler…more snow = more visitors = more income for locals. Yay for early snow.
The comments at the Telegraph site are HILARIOUS. Everybody is getting in on the fun of spoofing Der ObamaFuerher. Or could FR denizens commenting over at The Telegraph. Examples…
Curse that global warming! Er, um, no wait, curses to climate change. Umm, no wrong again. Hooray for snow and capitalism, great partners!
How dare these evil corporations take advantage of man made climate change! The rich just keep getting to ski more and more... and the poor less and less. ... The government should collect some of that snow from them and redistribute it to the needy out there. How many people in just Florida alone are living in abject snow poverty! .... It’s just not fair I tell you!
Yes! Reverse Snow Insecurity! Stop being selfish and share your snowfall comrades. If you hear anyone telling lies about snow redistribution email us at snowjob.gov
If you like your snow storm... you can keep your snow storm.... Period. If you like your blizzard... you can keep your blizzard... Period.
Sounds like just another snow shovel ready project to me.
I'm not sure why every one is getting on President Obama. He is held back on his global warming initiatives by the Republicans and Big Business. Obviously up in Canada they have been more progressive in this area. So obviously Canada would be colder than the U.S. and start seeing these earlier snows. /s
Tell me about it. They come here to get away from all the crap in California, and immediately try to take over everything and start imposing the same crap that they left.
