One of the biggt and bt gay and lbian ski weeks North Ameri, the lourful & vibrant pri week featur a packed schle of skig, snowboardg, parti, arts and culture and social events. When Whistler’s first gay ski week was held Febary 1992, was a relatively small and discreet event; s lack of advertisg and visual prence ma easy to miss when gog through the lol newspapers and archival rerds om that time. In 1992, Brent Benaschak, who had recently opened a bed and breakfast Whistler, wanted to create a gay-iendly space both on the mounta and the valley while also attractg new visors.
His pany, Out on the Slop, produced Altu, the first rnatn of a gay ski week Whistler. In the mid-1990s, Altu anizers lnched a pk dot mpaign to show lol bs the enomic value of the gay ski week. Enomics were not enough to w over all of the crics, however, and Altu’s growth the early 1990s led to some homophobic reactns.

GAY SKI WEEKS: COLOR THE SLOP
This amendment led to lls to boytt the state and many people who had planned to attend Aspen’s gay ski week chose to attend Altu stead. Amendment 2 was later clared unnstutnal by the Supreme Court of the Uned Stat 1996, by which time Whistler’s gay ski week was tablished. Wh only twelve days to go before the ftival was set to beg, Sean Kearns (who owned the travel webse) reced Dean Nelson, Wayne Hartrick, Mark Clements-Kearns and Tatiana Kostiak to put together a stripped-down versn rebrand as GayWhistler Gay Ski Week.
The Whistler Pri and Ski Ftival is more than jt a gay ski week, is an 8-day ftival that b Sports, Culary, Wellns and spectacular Social and Cultural events.
