It is official, WinterPRIDE new dates!


WinterPRIDE 2014 Whistler Pride and Ski Festival

Greetings from Whistler!

By all accounts, WinterPRIDE 2013 was another glowing success, however the final weekend had extraordinary compression due to the Chinese New Years and the new BC Family Day long weekend causing majority of the hotels to be sold out for the final weekend. Therefore, the traditional time slot for WinterPRIDE (first week of February) is no long a need period for the resort and we can expect ski tickets and accommodation rates to be reflected accordingly.

After discussing with some of the key Whistler partners we felt the last week of January (January 26 - Feb. 2nd) will be the best value in terms of room rates and ski passes for our guests and give the festival the biggest opportunity to grow.  This week will also give the festival a stable time slot for the next several years which is important to many of our guests with Time Shares and Strata Condos which demand them to give 10+ months notice of use of their suite(s).  We hope you will find the new week a positive move and will continue to support the festival.  WinterPRIDE 2014 is January 26 - February 2nd.
