Blackcomb Mountain will remain open
through the weekend (November 5 and 6) and plans are in place to open
daily as of Friday, November 11. Special opening weekend pricing will be
in effect.

A series of Pacific frontal systems over the past weekend brought a
total of 60 centimetres (24 inches) of snow to the mountains at the
Rendezvous Lodge elevation located at 1,860m/6,102ft, and the forecast
is calling for even more snow through the week.

"This is a major boost for early season conditions at Whistler
Blackcomb," says Bob Dufour, Vice President of Mountain Operations. "The
long range forecast over the coming weeks is for normal, or colder than
normal temperatures plus normal or greater than normal precipitation.
This is very good news for us."

The new snow, a stormy forecast over the next five days, and Whistler
Blackcomb's powerful snowmaking system are lining up to deliver the
solid early season conditions that Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains have
become famous for. With anywhere from 25 to 40 centimetres (10 to 16
inches) forecasted to fall through Friday, indications of what's to come
this season are promising.

"Things are looking very winter-like on the mountains today," says Mike
Douglas, Whistler Blackcomb Pro Team member and long time Whistler
resident. "Halloween night is typically one of the best nights in
Whistler and I think tonight will be even more fun than usual as locals
celebrate winter's return and this weekend's early opening."

Whistler Blackcomb crews have been working hard all summer preparing for
this season. Summer grooming and brush cutting on the runs will ensure
that more runs can open with minimal snow. Increased investment into
high-tech snowmaking infrastructure provides added assurance that snow
coverage will be solid. "Many of our guns now turn on automatically when
the temperature dips allowing us to take advantage of every snowmaking
opportunity no matter what time of the day or night," says Dufour.

Hours of operation this weekend will be from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Uploading
will take place from the Blackcomb base. The Wizard Express, Solar
Coaster Express, Jersey Cream Express and Catskinner chairs are expected
to open.

Great early season pricing is in effect. Offers this winter include a
family package where kids ski and stay free (must be booked before
December 5). Discover Whistler Days during 11 weeks of the season also
offer guests many ski and snowboard lessons at 50% off. Please visit
