Opening Day Whistler Videos

 

Whistler Mountain opened on November 22, 2014 and The Insider threw together a couple videos to document the event. Both videos were originally posted directly to the Go Whistler Facebook Page (which you should definitely like and follow). But to keep them easily accessible, we are reposting them here for The Insider archives.

The first video longtime features long time local artist Vincent Massey and pro skier Dana Flahr talking about watching the seasons shift into winter and the blast of stoke that comes with opening day anticipation.

Opening Day arrives! In this video Dana, boutique ski builder Sheldon Steckman and local artist Chantelle Pellerin head up Whistler mountain.

The weather wasn’t perfect for opening day on Blackcomb Mountain, but the après was. The Insider lives the good life at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler with pro riders Helen Schettini and Robin Van Gyn
