It started snowing at about 8:15AM today (Oct. 26th 2011) By 3:00PM there was about 5cm of snow on the ground and it was still coming down, slowly but surely.

Get your gear ready, the seasons coming.

I witnessed the snow today in Whistler, it was awesome to see everyone so stoked.
Cant be far away now, heard a rumour or two that the opening may be a weekend early.

Vancouver's only mountaintop ice skating rink is now open. This means skiing and snowboarding is just around the corner! We know everyone is *really* excited, and so are we, so we will be making an announcement soon!

Maybe hype? Tomorrow would be unreal

Yeah, idc if they have 3 flat boxes. The one flat box before the pontoon is so setup nicely that it all flows really well.
