Whistler Pride And Ski Festival

The Whistler Pride and Ski Festival is an annual event that has evolved from a small gathering of gay ski enthusiasts in 1992 into one of the largest queer-focused ski weeks globally. Set in the picturesque backdrop of Whistler, Canada, this vibrant festival attracts visitors from around the world, providing a unique experience that combines winter sports with cultural and social festivities. The festival offers a variety of packages, including 7-Day or 3-Day Multi Event Passes, and attendees booking packages of three days or more are treated to bonus Pool Party tickets. This ensures that guests can fully immerse themselves in the rich array of activities available throughout the week.
The festival features a plethora of exciting queer-focused après-ski events, cultural experiences, entertainment, and social gatherings designed to create unforgettable memories. A highlight of the festival is the free daily guided ski and snowboard groups, which provide an excellent opportunity for participants to meet fellow attendees while exploring the stunning slopes of Whistler Blackcomb. Guests can also indulge in exquisite dining options available in the resort and surrounding areas, although it is highly recommended to make reservations in advance due to the high demand during the festival. The event not only showcases the thrill of skiing but also emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting the cultural heritage of the region, as it is hosted on the traditional territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation and Lil̓wat7úl (Lil’wat) Nation. The festival collaborates with the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Lil̓wat7úl Cultural Centre (SLCC) to offer guests insights into the local history and culture, enriching the overall experience of the Whistler Pride and Ski Festival.
