While it’s only Whistler Mountain that’s open today, Blackcomb Mountain will be open on Thursday too, with first uploads at 8:30 am on both days.

As you would expect, there’s plenty of powderhounds already up there. Here’s a round up of some of the best photos from opening day.

Stoke factor: contagious. 😁🎉
