1.
Of course! Check out their events calendar!

2. This would depend on your desire for visiting Whistler.

The highway is quite treacherous in foul weather. Currently there is an improvement project in place for the 2010 winter olympics. As such, you should expect delays of an additional 30-45 mins.
Good luck
