Flake it till you make it. World Ski and Snowboard Festival
Get ready to carve some fresh tracks on the slopes where champions are born. Whistler isn't just a mountain, it's a winter sport hub. Drawing adrenaline seekers since 1996 when the World Ski and Snowboard Festival (WSSF) was created by Dough Perry, a seasoned skier and trainer. From 8 April to 14 April, WSSF 2024 ignites Whistler with an electrifying blend of athleticism and festivity filled with mountain culture. Over the years, the WSSF has grown from grassroots gathering to being recognised as North America's largest annual winter sports and music festival.
WSSF offers a variety of events, including ski and snowboard competitions, free outdoor concerts, a 72-hour filmmaking competition and photography and art exhibitions. The festival also hosts the World Skiing Invitational, the World Snowboarding Championship and the Salomon Skiercross. The WSSF showcases works by local artists through shows like Brave Art and State of the Art. This is where winter's heart beats the loudest. Can you hear it? It's calling you! So, dust off those onesies because wearing crazy outfits during WSSF is encouraged.
