Snow falling on mountains! Five inches of new white stuff at Whistler Blackcomb
There's good news in the mountains. Three and a half inches of snow fell on Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains Saturday night, with another 1.5 inches falling during the day today. There's currently a base of 20 inches.
Combine that with snow guns transforming more than nine million gallons of water into snow during the past week, and the early season conditions at Whistler Blackcomb are making skiers and riders happy about the winter season ahead.
The big news is the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola Grand Opening on Friday, December 12. The PEAK 2 PEAK Experience Package offers room and lift from $108 per person per night. And here's another good deal: the Adara Hotel, sister to the swank Opus Hotel in nearby Vancouver, is offering a 3/2 special. Stay three nights between Dec. 19-31, and you only pay for two. Only valid on new bookings.
