What: WHISTLER AND BLACKCOMB MOUNTAINS OPEN Both mountains are open and a full-on ski season is finally here! Dust off the skis and snowboards and hit the hill!

What: PARALYMPIC PREPARATIONS BREAKFAST The Whistler Chamber of Commerce hosts a breakfast to prepare the community for the 2010 Winter Paralympic Games. Guests include Maureen Douglas, Sharon Fugman, Arlene Schieven and Doug Forseth.

What: WINTERPRIDE The Olympics aren't the only event that's hitting Whistler this year.

Staff Sergeant Steve LeClair attributed Whistler's relatively tame Olympic Games to a high police presence and visitor demographics. Two days before the closing ceremonies, LeClair said almost all arrests made were for intoxication in public.

Tourism Whistler is estimating that room nights will be up six per cent for the winter of 2009-2010, with the resort almost at capacity through much of the Olympic month of February and strong bookings through most of March.
