A photo recap of Whistler's DEEP opening weekend

Whistler’s opening weekend 2017 was one for the ages.

When the mountain opens with waist-deep powder, you know it’s going to be a good season.

Feast your eyes below on the highlights from this fairytale season opener. But be warned, if you weren’t there, these photos are going to induce some major FOMO.

Snow happens and a mountain opens. It begins.

Whistler Opening Day (2/9) . . Yew!! What great start to the season eh?! Ben, Nick and I wondered over Whistler to find the deep and steep! Careful of early season hazards we pulled a few decent shots out of the bag 🙂 First time shooting skiing with the 5DmIV and it was a dream! Very stoked for the season to come! Bring it on! . . @whistlerblackcomb @bc_benny #skiing #touring #whistler #openingday #first30 #getinline #earlybird #powder #pow #powdertothepeople #openseason #faceshot #hungover #isthisreallife #whistlerblackcomb #winter #ski #snowboarding #outdoorresearch #arcteryx #snowboard #freeski #snow #skier #creek #chooseadventure
