It may be pouring rain at sea level on B.C.'s south coast, but there's plenty of snow up in the mountains.

Whistler Blackcomb opened today (November 15) with 10 centimetres of new snow overnight. Another 20 centimetres are expected to fall by the end of the day.

Naturally, that led to lineups at the gondolas.

Season passes will continue to be sold until December 5.

And don't forget about the Whistler Film Festival, which runs from December 1 to 31.

Below, you can see more photos from the first day of skiiing.
