National Ski Day & Whistler Pride Weekend
The holiday's have come and gone but the beautiful weather is still here! Whistler has had some of the nicest skiing days in the past few weeks with massive amounts of snowfall, cold weather, and sunny blue bird days. January is looking like the perfect month to go up the mountains and get yourself a nice goggle tan so you don't look out of place among the locals.

Whistler Pride and Ski Festival
This January 22nd, The Whistler Pride and Ski Festival is set to mark its 25th anniversary. This year will welcome festival-goers from countries all around the world, including Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, and South Africa. While many people wait to buy tickets to events, advanced ticket sales are actually up this year compared to last. Event planners anticipate another great turn out for the festival this year.
The Whistler Pride and Ski Festival runs from Jan. 22 to 29 at various venues around The Village. Highlights include celebrity airhostess Pam Ann at the comedy show on Jan. 25, Canadian singer-songwriter Kim Kuzma performing as part of the Welcome Reception on Jan. 22 and Italian DJs The Cube Guys headlining the festival finale, Snowball 25.
As gay rights have progressed in Canada and in many places around the world, the role of the festival has changed with it, Pride events these days are about celebrating diversity. For more information or for tickets visit
