Screaming Ski Season Deals - Whistler

So here we are mid August and we are already looking ahead to a stellar winter snow season. Yeah, I know... here in the Vancouver/Whistler region we have not had much of a summer... that is in part due to the HUGE snow pack we had this year which has helped keep our temperatures lower than normal, the good news in this is 1) for the first time in hundreds of years the glaciers on Whistler / Blackcomb appear to be advancing (aka growing!) 2) the alpine still has a fairly healthy snow pack which is all going to mean a better base for this upcoming season 3) long range forecasts are showing that this will be another EPIC snow season! So Boyz & Gurrlz get those boards shined up we are going to have a Snowtastic season!

Love Snow! La Nina Sashays into Whistler...

The gays are known to love the bling... but the gay skier & rider is known for their quest of White Gold. Insane amounts of this natural bling brings a smile to most skier/rider's face especially if you are lucky enough to enjoy face shot after another... we are talking SNOW! And how we love to ride it good and hard! Yahoo!! We are upon yet another epic snow season with Whistler Blackcomb getting over 11 feet of the white stuff to-date and heaps more in the forecast.


Just this week alone we have seen 56cm in the last week bringing the snow base up to 150cm. For the first week of December this is simply amazing... and WinterPRIDE is still some fifty days away!

This weekend (Saturday, December 11th, 2011) the Vancouver/Whistler ski club skiOUT! will be Out hitting the slopes on Blackcomb (10AM RendezVous Light Board) to shred some of that precious bling we all so love. 1PM is the usual lunch time at the Glacier Creek Lodge, followed by 3PM or so Apres Ski at Milestone's (formerly Monk's Grill).
Later that night things will get all festive with the annual holiday special... Yuletide WHOOSSH Martini Party... maybe try the Southern Comfort Egg Nog to get you into that festive spirit! WHOOSSH will be at the Southside Diner from 9PM - 12AM and is always a lot of fun.

So come on up and get OUT and have some fun. Call 1.866.787.1966 for some incredible last minute deals and stay at one of our partner hotels:
Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa, Fairmont Chateau Whistler, Coast Blackcomb Suites, Delta Whistler Village Suites, Evolution in Creekside, Aava Whistler Hotel, or perhaps a luxury home with Whistler Select. If you are looking to economize... why not sleep with an Olympian?! Try the Whistler Hostel for just $35/person/night. Let them know you are with "Pride."

Remember think Snow, Think WinterPRIDE!
