Whistler Blackcomb is kicking off its 50th Anniversary by opening a week ahead of schedule! Tomorrow is the big day!

 

So here’s what’s up: Whistler Mountain will have five lifts running tomorrow with the first ride up at 8:30am from either the Whistler Village Gondola or the Creekside Gondola. The last upload is at 2:00pm and a mandatory download is in effect.

 

Emerald Express, Big Red Express and Franz’s Chair lifts will be running with access to nine groomed runs, including GreenAcres, Jolly Green Giant, Ego Bowl, Upper Whiskey Jack, Pony Tail, Porcupine, Orange Peel, Upper Bear Cub, Upper Franz’s, as well as a small terrain park at the top of the Emerald Express chair. Blackcomb access will open next week.

 

If you haven’t already, make sure you download the Whistler Blackcomb LIVE app! I check it every morning for mountain conditions and it’s a great resource!

 

For you early birds there’s some live music from The McQuaid’s from 7:30am to 10am at Dusty’s and a legendary apres as well featuring Ruckus Duluxe from 2:30pm to 5:00pm.

 

AHHHHHH!!!! I’M SO EXCITED!!

This is what my foyer looks like right now…All my toys are ready to go!
