Billed as one of the largest queer-focused ski weekends in the world, the Whistler Pride and Ski Festival is back for its 32nd edition. 

The 2025 event runs from Jan. 19 to 26 and features various experiences and events, including daily guided tours of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, drag bingo, comedy, dance nights, the Splash! Pool Party, and the Whistler Pride Charity Ski Race on Blackcomb Mountain on Jan. 23. 

Then on Jan. 24, the annual Pride Parade Ski-Out is scheduled on Whistler Mountain. Festivities start at 1:30 p.m at Olympic Station with music by DJ Nat Morell, followed by a performance by Vancouver drag artists Hazel, Madam Lola Colby, and Nara. The parade itself begins at 3:30 p.m, with skiers and snowboarders heading to Skiers Plaza before making their way to the Whistler Conference Centre.

Finally, DJ Abel will swing by the conference centre on Jan. 25 for the festival's flagship Snowball, a unique social experience featuring lights, lasers, drinks and dancing.
