Greetings from Whistler!   

Thank you so much for being part of the 20th Annual Gay & Lesbian Ski/Snowboard week - GayWhistler's WinterPRIDE.  By all accounts this was one of the best attended and successful events in recent memory. 

Some of the key highlights included Whistler's first Pride Ski Out & March through the village on Thursday, Feb. 9th followed by the welcoming remarks and reading of the Pride Proclamation of the Mayor of Whistler;  The WinterPRIDE Pool Party presented by the Holiday Inn Resort Aruba with the uplifting beats of DJ Dan Murphy; The Echo Valley Ranch & Spa Cowboy & Cowgirl Party with Moolina, Patrick Masse and DJ Byran James; The GuySpy Village T-Dance, The Pride House QMUNITY Lounge & wine tastings with Barefoot Wine & Bubbly; Snowball 20 with DJ Manny Lehman; Mr. Gay Canada competition; and of course the WinterPRIDE Ski Guiding presented by Air New Zealand - just to name a few!

The Aava Whistler hotel is located just steps from the centre of Whistler Village and only moments from the two majestic mountains of Whistler & Blackcomb.  Ask for their special rates throughout the year by quoting "Pride" and save.

   

Did you know that it took over 2,900 volunteer hours to put on the WinterPRIDE festival?  We could not have done it without the generous support of all of our volunteers, sponsors and partners.  Thank you so much!  Our full page ad will be in this week's issue of the Whistler Question.

Sat., Feb. 25th is skiOUT! on Blackcomb
