"Whistler Blackcomb is lucky to boast one of the longest ski seasons in North America," said Stuart Rempel, WB's VP of marketing and sales, in the release. "Whether it is skiing freshly groomed corn snow, or enjoying an après beverage while listening to live music on the patio of Merlin's, we want to make sure guests have the best possible spring experience."

It was also announced that the Whistler Bike Park will be targeting May 17, 2013, at the opening day.
