It would be a great way to kick off the season!!
Whistler-Blackcomb: Please take me back! It was never you. It was all me. OK, really it was them. I had to break up with you to have a couple of kids. But I miss you soooooo much! Let’s reconnect again on Nov 24th. It could be the beginning of another beautiful love affair!
It’s like destiny that my birthday is synced up with opening weekend every year. I’ve always had an epic time celebrating in Whistler and answering calls from family while I’m riding down the mountain. Best birthday gift ever!!
I’ll be there for the tweetup 🙂
I would so love to be there on opening weekend! woot woot!
I would love to be there opening weekend because Whistler is one of my favorite places – I got married there!
I <3 Whistler! Would LOVE to be there on opening weekend and would madly tweet/facebook/tumblr the whole experience 🙂 Please pick me, it has been a rough year and Whistler would be an awesome way to wrap it up.
The perfect way to start the season!
Look how beautiful it is up there….who wouldn’t want to be there. Stunning.
This would be an amazing opportunity for a family getaway! Also- have always wanted to do the peak-to-peak, so this would be really wonderful.
Yes please. Can’t wait for the season to start!
Thsi would be an amazing oppurtunity to re-connect with friends I recently moved from Vancouver to Victoria and taking a weekend away with friends from van in whistler would be gloriuos!
I want to be there because it would make my husband’s year! And I would be the best wife ever!
Cause I’ve never been!
Skiing is my favourite thing, and if I could live at Whistler, I would. This would be awesome!
Opening weekend would be so amazing! A small weekend vacation would be so nice for my love and I. Fresh powder, skiis, board, and hot choco would just taste that much better.
I’m so excited to ski this season after many years off the mountain! I’m all geared up and waiting for opening day! Can’t WAIT!!!
I just have to be there!!! Please help!!!
OMG who wouldn’t want to be in Whistler for opening. Snow, beers at the Longhorne and party time!
Being up there just to ride the peak to peak would be amazing. Plus, opening weekend is always a good time in Whistler.
Because it’s the best mountain to ski on within 2 hours from Vancouver!
whistler is so beautiful and I would love to take in the sights and a bit of boarding!
its going to be the start of a great season!
Wow what a great opportunity! I love Whistler and enjoy strolling the village, but I have never actually experienced the slopes; I would love to experience it as well with my boyfriend who wishes to try boarding which he’s never done!
I haven’t been to Whistler since I was a kid — it got so expensive over the years my family couldn’t afford it any more. I’d love to see what it’s like post-Olympics.
My dad is coming to visit from Newfoundland and it will be the first time I’ve seen him in years! Would be lovely to take him skiing in my new home province!
Born and bred in Vancouver, yet I’ve never been to Whistler in the Winter. Sad, I know. Hook me up, please!

I would love to spend opening weekend up at Whistler celebrating my 8 year anniversary on the slopes!
I would absolutely love and need this weekend away! My husband and I have been working far too hard. Also, he comes from California and I’ve been trying to convince him to take up skiing, so this will be the perfect push for him 🙂
I need Whistler. We were together for 3 months, albeit short, but full of memories and fun.
I would love to be in Whistler for opening weekend. I hurt myself playing hockey on opening weekend last year and missed the entire season.
Other than the world-class skiing? Matthew Good and Daniel Wesley at the GLC November 26th. Really want to go!
Have been at the beach all summer, time to start hitting the slopes for the snowboard/ski season!!
AND perfect time for team-building for my business club right before finals!! 🙂
I would love to go to Whistler again, it’s been a love / hate affair. I love it when I’m there and I hate it when I can’t be there!! Choose me!!!

Went for the first time last year and would love to go again.
Haven’t been on my board since the kids, this would be nice.
This is my 3th season of ski. I’m always taking lessons and I’m ready to try a new mountain.

Doesn’t get much more ‘BC’ than being in Whistler opening day!
My hubby and I need a weekend away…early morning coffee in the village, snow on the mountain, a couple of ski passes to hit the slopes, de-stress at the Scandinave spa at the end of the day! Sounds dreamy to us!

Would love to celebrate my birthday on the slopes!!
I’ve never been! It would be awesome!!!
My husband would love it!
I’ve been away for the past 7 months and missing my home and my mountains. It would be a wonderful homecoming gift!
I’ve never been to Whistler. Let me at it.
Was living abroad last year and I vowed to myself that the first thing I’m going to do when I’m back in Vancouver in the winter is to go to Whistler! This would be a great way to make my words come true!
Would you believe that I’ve never skied in Whistler! I need to.
I’d love to get more practice skiing! Haven’t taken advantage of our beautiful mountains much since moving to BC.
I’m a prairie girl that just moved to Vancouver last year from Winnipeg where I spent my entire life. I’ve never skied Whistler or even been up there in the winter! My birthday is on Nov 19th and this would be a great birthday gift to accompany the new Burton ski jacket my hubby is supposed to get for me! I got a pair of skiis for my b-day last year.

aaah, Whistler, such memories we’ve shared since last year and I have to admit I am addicted to you! We’ve had many celebrations and bruises along the way but I still love you and let’s do it all again this year. Plus, I got a few visitors this year to introduce you to so they too will know and fall in love with you as well! Would love to win this package!

I would love to go just to experience the excitement of the new season
I’ve actually been to Whistler in the summer time so I would look forward to seeing the winter there
It’s looking to be a great season in Whistler. Lokompng forward to hitting the slopes.
What a great way to share the beautiful BC outdoors!
The family needs some quality time together, hitting the snowy slopes – the perfect opportunity for my son to break in his new skis!

I have only skied Whistler in July- it would be nice to be there with cold weather.
Starting off the season with my First Trip to Whistler would be a blast!
I miss the freedom of the hills and on being on top of the world at Whistler Blackcomb. If I win i will perform a primal screem on the skihill to celebrate.
Because you would be crazy to not want to. Most beautiful place in BC!
A friend and I recently argued over whether skiing or riding a motor cycle was the closest one could get to flying. I’d love to get her up on the hill and prove that cycles have nothing on the freedom of the slopes.
I am total Snowboarding FREAK, my daughter is a Ski fanatic.. It’s difficult for us to get up to Whistler due to cost (I’m a single mom) Sooooo This would be such a treat for us.. 🙂 .PICK US! please. .:)
I would love to be up there because it will be my first full weekend off since June!! Would love some qualiity time away!
