Whistler Canada’s WinterPRIDE 2008 is keeping true to its promise of being “the world’s most inclusive gay ski week” by introducing an exciting new program of activities for women. The headline events of WinterPRIDE’s 2008 women’s programming include:
“We have certainly seen an increase in female attendance over the last two years and we wanted to produce an even higher range and quality of events for them at WinterPRIDE 2008,” said Sean Kearns, President of Alpenglow Productions. “We are breaking down the barriers of what can and can’t be done with a gay ski week event, and we will continue to broaden our offerings to make WinterPRIDE the most inclusive gay ski week in the world.”
OutTraveler Magazine called WinterPRIDE “the most lesbian-friendly [gay ski week] of the bunch” in its December 2007 issue.
“We hope our new programming will encourage even more women to attend so they can meet in a unique and fun environment, enjoying the full WinterPRIDE experience,” said Kearns.
WinterPRIDE 2008 runs from February 3-10, 2008. In addition to the world-class skiing and snowboarding offered on Whistler, many of WinterPRIDE’s 2007 highlights will return for 2008, such as an array of dance parties, culinary events, ziptrekking and dog sledding.
Oh yes, I said dog sledding.
