Whistler Pride brings together skiing, snowboarding, and nightlife in one of Canada’s most scenic resorts. Set in the stunning mountains north of Vancouver, it’s not just about the slopes — it’s a full week of parties, entertainment, and alpine fun for the international LGBTQ+ crowd.
The festival usually runs in late January, blending outdoor adventure with after-dark excitement. Days are spent skiing and boarding on Whistler and Blackcomb, followed by après-ski drinks at the village bars. As the sun sets, the real energy begins with themed parties, drag shows, and live performances spread across the resort.
The big nights include the Snowball closing party — a massive dance event with guest DJs and a light show that fills the conference center. There’s also Splash, the lively pool party; Furrocious, which leans into the bear scene; and the Mix and Mingles for something more social and relaxed. The festival keeps a balance between mountain vibe and party glamour.
What makes Whistler Pride special is its friendly, open crowd. You’ll meet skiers from around the world, couples, and groups of friends who come back every year. It’s a celebration that mixes adrenaline with warmth — the kind of event where you dance one night and carve powder the next morning.
