Whistler Gay Ski Week
Sunday January 19 to Sunday January 26, 2025
Considering the expense and the number of times the club has been to Aspen, it’s only natural to want to experience a Gay Ski Week elsewhere. Whistler, BC it is! We will be staying in two condos. There are 14-16 spots. The condos are ski in/ski out.
Price
The price is $1,500. The single supplement is $2,400. Both prices include lodging, ground transportation, and a club sponsored dinner out on the town. Remember the US dollar is doing great against the Canadian dollar. Did someone mention shopping?
You can check out the accommodations at the VRBO links here: VRBO.com/1196099 and VRBO.com/2061301
Whistler is NOT on the IKON pass. Therefore, you will have to buy an Epic pass. Passes can be purchased passes from three to six days.

Mammoth Drive Up Trips
With the exception of the Elevation Mammoth Bus trip, this year we will be utilizing What’s App to facilitate multiple weekend as well as mid week drive-up trips so that everyone can ski/board with as many friends and new friends as possible. The goal is to get more people involved with the club and more people on the slopes! Please join the main Arriba What’s App chat to find links to various sub-chats for multiple drive up trips. If you have specific dates in mind that you would like to go to Mammoth throw it out there in the main chat and see if more people are interested in sharing a condo/ ride for skiing and boarding those dates. If you already have a condo reserved and are looking for more roommates throw that out there also. A list of condos will be supplied if enough people are interested in specific dates or find a condo on your own through Air BnB and split the costs with those interested. This system has been used with another ski group and has been very successful and allows for more trips short and long and also weekend and mid week trips.
