GayWhistler's WinterPRIDE

2010 is going to be a very exciting and electric year as Whistler plays host to three major back to back events. The 2010 Winter Olympics (February 12-28) comes to Whistler and the 40 year vision and dream of this resort town is actualized. Whistler will have all the Nordic, Sliding and Downhill events and the parties and excitement will be like no other time in the village's history.

March 1-8 are the official dates for GayWhistler's WinterPRIDE celebrating our 18th anniversary! This is going to be one anniversary party you will not want to miss come and experience Whistler just after the Olympics and take in the excitement of being on the world stage. We have been working on our 2010 strategy for nearly three years already and we have some very exciting events in mind of this very special year.

Watch for our 2010 packages and programming coming soon. Confirmed is the first PRIDE House from Feb. 8 thru to March 25th.  This will be a safe space for LGBT athletes, friends, family, fans and allies to come hang out, watch the games, trade pins and share their authentic stories.

March 12-21, 2010 Whistler plays host to some very talented and extraordinary athletes at the Paralympic Games. Come cheer on your favorite athlete as they go for Gold. The Paralympics are known to be more intimate than the Olympics and just as exciting!
