March 1st is fast approaching. And this year may be the only time that the Winter Olympics will precede Gay Whistler WinterPRIDE.
The biggest misconception is that getting to Whistler is difficult to impossible…this is not true. Starting March 1st there are no highway restrictions getting to Whistler and prior to then motor coaches running to Whistler are the most frequent they have ever been.
And unique for 2010 is the PRIDE House Whistler in the posh Pan Pacific Hotel from Feb. 8 – Mar. 21, 2010. PRIDE House is a hip lounge with a cocktail bar and TV monitors created around the Olympics to allow athletes and visitors from around the world to hang out and have fun together.
There are so many events leading up to MountainTOP Snowball party on Saturday March 6, featuring Grammy Award winning superstar DJ Hex Hector. Those that have been to this event know that this is not just any dance party as you ride the Whistler Gondola to the top of Whistler Mountain and dance on top of the world. Your ticket includes the gondola ride, a meal and the party!
Legendary DJ Hex HectorThe week begins on Saturday February 27 with the annual Avalanche Party at Celebrities Nightclub in Vancouver BC. Then starting from Sunday’s Olympic Closing Ceremony on February 28 until March 8, the week features skiing and alternative activities during the day along with après and special parties every night, even a pool party until 2am on Thursday.
Not interested in skiing? The daytime is packed with activities from snowmobile adventures to culinary classes, wine and beer tasting tours to dog sledding adventures and from spa treatments to yoga classes, you will never run short of activities. You can find the complete schedule of events here.
And of course, WinterPRIDE is also one of the most popular gay destinations in the world for lesbians as well, with many events and parties geared specifically to the ladies. Voted #1 Lesbian Ski Week in the world. Check out www.gaywhistler.com/women.
The folks organizing and preparing for WinterPRIDE are as excited as all of us that are going and they say that things are going very well thanks in part to the Winter Olympics.
It is the best time to come and visit the resort… it is simply amazing the energy, the excitement and the snow conditions are simply amazing
