A Message from the PremierAs Premier of the province of British Columbia, I would like to extend greetings to everyone attending the 18th annual GayWhis-tler’s WinterPRIDE festival.

Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy Whistler just after the 2010 Olympic Winter Games conclude, and just prior to the beginning of the Paralympic Games. I am sure guests will enjoy the exciting program encompassing all that Whistler has to offer.

Congratulations to everyone involved in preparing for this Festival. I understand that nearly three years were dedicated to ensuring that this year’s event is the best ever. Your time and effort will enable everyone to enjoy and appreciate the diversity that we celebrate in our province.

Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable and memorable festival.

Sincerely,

Gordon Campbell Premier

Dear Guests of WinterPRIDE: Whistler is proud to welcome the world as we play host to the 2010 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games. Whistler continues to embrace diversity and work with our community partners to make our resort one of the leading mountain destina-tions that celebrate a culture that embraces being inclusive. 2010 is a historic year for Whistler as not only do we celebrate a huge international event like the Olympics but also our local community has had an active role in helping shape the look and feel of the games.

We are proud of the work GayWhistler has done in creating a pavilion, PRIDEHouse, during the games to celebrate that diversity and to have the foresight in moving the annual festival to transition from the Olympics to WinterPRIDE to the Paralympic Winter Games. We are sure you will find the 18th Anniversary of Gay Ski Week to be extraordinary indeed!

We hope you take the time to explore the magical experience our resort has to offer. Enjoy some of the best alpine and Nordic skiing, zip line canopy tours, snow shoeing in the Ancient Cedars to the plethora of spas; fine dining, shopping and exciting nightlife you have come to expect.

Have a wonderful and safe holiday and we do look forward welcoming you again whatever the season.

Warmest regards,

Ken MelamedMayor

The Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games are coming to Whistler and Vancouver and for the first time in Olympic history there will be a pavilion available to our LGBT team members, their families, friends and other allies. A pavilion we call - PRIDE House.

Designed with the core values of celebrating authenticity, diversity and inclusiveness, the PRIDE House pavilions will be located in Whistler and Vancouver, the two host communities for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The PRIDE House pavilions will provide a venue for the LGBT community to come together with family and friends to cheer on and celebrate the accomplishments of the Olympic & Paralympic athletes as they go for gold. The pavilions will include a hip lounge with a cocktail bar, along with TV monitors to watch the Olympics, hang out, trade pins, and just have fun. Special events will be scheduled throughout the 42 day period of the Games, from Feb. 8th through to March 21st, 2010. A highlight will be the Fearless Photo Exhibit showcasing OUT Athletes and their stories that is sponsored by the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation for the BC Centre of Excellence in HIV/AIDS. Other community-based events are also planned to raise awareness about homophobia and transphobia in general, as well as how it is manifest in sport.

PRIDE House Whistler: Located at the Pan Pacific Whistler Village Centre, 4299 Blackcomb Way, will be the primary focus of PRIDE House during the games. Designed primarily for celebration you can expect various events planned throughout February & March including wine tastings with Barefoot Wines, fresh Ethical Bean Coffee brewed daily, official PRIDEMerchandise outlet, meet at 10AM to go skiing with the WinterPRIDE Ski Director, John Sutherland as he shows you some of the best turns on Whistler Blackcomb.

PRIDE House Vancouver’s primary celebration venue will be located at Score on Davie, 1262 Davie Street. Score on Davie is one of Vancouver’s most popular sports bar and located in the heart of the Gay Village was a perfect choice to have a Vancouver celebration place.

PRIDE House Advisory Board: PRIDE House has been a wonderful collection of various associations coming together to create a truly unique and unified pavilion that encompasses the LGBT community including: GayWhistler, Qmunity, CAAWS (Canadian Association for Advancement in Women in Sports & Physical Activity), Promotion Plus, Vancouver Pride Society, LEGIT/Rainbow Refugee, EGALE, ILGA, City of Vancouver LGBTQQI Committee, as well as individuals from the local LGBT communities.

Our home is your home…

We are thrilled to have you in our resort community of Whistler! The management team of GayWhistler would like to thank our community for their most gracious and continued generous support in welcoming everyone with such open arms and helping us to play host, as Whistler celebrates the 18th annual Gay & Lesbian Ski Week immediately following the 2010 Olympic and Paralympics Winter Games. We have many wonderful adventures, culinary, health & wellness, education and social engagements for you to experience throughout the entire week as we bath in the afterglow of the Olympics.

Whistler is a special place where everything is within walking distance, and everyone is encouraged to stroll and explore our vibrant mountain village. The night life concludes around 2AM. Remember to take a taxi home if you are not within walking distance and we do respectfully ask you to respect our venues, neighbours and community by returning to your accommodation quietly.

Thank you for choosing Whistler and WinterPRIDE as one of your vacation experi-ences. We trust you will have an enjoyable stay and please remember to respect our neighbours and to keep our resort clean. Welcome and enjoy!

ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL PERKS TO MY 7 DAY, MID WEEK OR WEEKEND PASS?Yes, not only did you save some on the bundle pass, you have the flexibility of doing as much or as little as you want. It’s sort of like a Season Pass. You can also flash your pass to our retail partners and save or get a special gift!

ARE THERE GAY SKI/SNOWBOARD GUIDES FOR ALL LEVELS OF SKIERS/RIDERS?Yes, we have ski guides available every day for all levels of skiers & riders so come up and ski/ride with your level group. There are also lesbian led groups!

ARE TICKETS TRANSFERABLE OR REFUNDABLE? Regrettably No.

MY PARTNER AND I ARE LOOKING TO GET MARRIED. CAN WE DO THIS WHILE AT WINTERPRIDE? Yes, we have several options available for you; just contact guest services.

WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS TO GET BACK TO VANCOUVER? We have several options for you, visit our website www.gaywhistler.com under travel or see us at guest services.

IS IT TOO LATE TO VOLUNTEER? No, come on down to the guest services suite and talk with our Volunteer Manager Carson or one of our volunteer leads.

WHAT CAN I DO IF I DO NOT SKI OR SNOWBOARD? WILL I BE BORED? There are hundreds of things for you to do and you will not be bored! Stop by our guest services desk for more ideas and suggestions!

WHEN IS WINTERPRIDE 2011?January 30 – February 6th, 2011 so start planning now as we move back to our usual week.

WHY SHOULD WE BOOK THROUGH YOUR OFFICIAL BOOKING CHANNEL?This is one of the only tools we have available to give accurate numbers to our resort partners, in the success of the festival, and to ensure the continued value to you, the consumer. There is the lowest price guarantee so you can be assured you are getting the best rate available.

HOW COME THE MEN’S FULL WEEK AND EXTENDED WEEKEND PASSES COST SO MUCH MORE THAN THE WOMEN’S? CAN’T GUYS GET A BREAK? Good question. The men’s passes and the women’s passes include different events on Friday and Saturday nights, and the costs to produce these events differ quite a bit. The men’s MountainTOP Dance on Saturday night is on Whistler Mountain at the top of the gondola in the Roundhouse. The venue rental, gondola rental, food, decoration, lighting, sound and entertainment costs are much higher than the costs for the women’s party that night.
