Encouraging news for all you Whistler Blackcomb skiers and snowboarders as first signs of winter have arrived to the iconic Canadian ski resort. Doesn’t appear to be anything more than a dusting but a fresh coat of the white stuff (no matter how thin) is enough to get the blood pumping as we approach winter 2025/2026.
Whistler Blackcomb’s official opening day is scheduled for November 21st, 2025 but that could be execrated if they get an early influx of snow. We will be sure to keep an eye on the weather and any reports of a date change. Let it snow!
