HISTORY
Putting Western Canada on the International LGBT Map In 1990 the international LGBT community discovered the Emerald Gem of Canada as a warm and welcoming destination when Vancouver hosted the Gay Games. Sport became a catalyst for brining people together in celebration and camaraderie. 1991 Seattle based Out & About sports group organized a gay ski weekend for a group of avid skiers including Brent Benaschak & Rodney Plant. 1992 Brent and his team organized the beginning of what was soon to become known as “Altitude.” Monk’s on Blackcomb was an early advocate of the ski week and, Bev Brown was a key ally and hosted the first Snowball at the restaurant for an estimated 300 people. 1993 Reviews from the year earlier were positive and gave the gay community a viable choice as Colorado was grabbling with discriminatory legislation towards homosexuals. Altitude Volunteer program began as the community started to work together. Estimated 600 people attended with most events sold out.
Retrospective of Gay Ski Week: Altitude
[6] WinterPRIDE 2013 Electronic Press Kit (EPK)
1994 - The Growing Year: Whistler started to take notice of this niche market as the Producers wooed Canadian Recording Artist, Sarah McLachan to perform to a sold out audience solidifying Altitude as a “must attend” event on the Gay Calendar. 1995 -A savvy media campaign is executed and the expected 300-400 people at the opening party turns out to attract over a 1,000. And by weeks end over 1,600 people have called Whistler home. Altitude became the single biggest ski event in Whistler with events that included: Gay Bingo, Comedy Night, Beach Party, Fashion Show, Mountain Top T-Dance, and Snowball headlined by DJ Billy Carroll 1996 - 2000 - Altitude surpassed Aspen as the biggest Gay Ski Week in the World. World class entertainment included: CeCe Peniston, Jimmy Somerville, Joi Cardwell, Kevin Aviance and his outrageous back up dancers, Elvira Kurt, Kiki & Herb, Pam Ann, Christine W., and the most famous guest to attend Altitude The Rt. Honorable Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Estimated attendance 3,000

FAQ’S - STORY STARTERS AN INTERVIEW WITH DEAN NELSON, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF GAYWHISTLER’S WINTERPRIDE 1. Tell me what WinterPRIDE is and how you got involved? WinterPRIDE is the evolution of Gay Ski Week. In 2007 we re-branded Gay Ski week as we saw there was a bigger opportunity to reach more people to become more inclusive to both the skier/non skier, to the full spectrum of our very diverse LGBT community. We have programming specific for women, to the bear/ leather/fetish, to the circuit queens and everything in between. I first was involved with Gay Ski Week back in 1995 as a hotel partner, as well as a volunteer, and then in 2006 became part of the organizing group that took over the week long celebration.
during WinterPRIDE, we assemble everyone that wants to ski/snowboard together into similar skiing/riding abilities. This way you are able to meet other people at your own speed and have an enjoyable experience at North America’s largest ski resort. Whistler and Blackcomb mountains can be a bit overwhelming for some of our guests from vertically challenged geographies! This also means if you are in a relationship and you are at different skiing abilities group you can break off and each have an amazing time on the mountain and come back and meet for lunch and later for Après without feeling guilty of either holding your partner back or pushing him/her into terrain that they are not comfortable with. It has saved a many a marriage I reckon!
5. Are there races or 2. There are a few other gay ski competitions? On Friday, Feb. 10th we have weeks out there, but WinterPride seems our annual Charity Ski Race... the race is to be the best at attracting lesbians. actually a race against yourself where you need Why is that? WinterPRIDE is a huge team to guess your time. So it does not necessarily effort and we are really fortunate to work with many wonderful community groups that are able to engage and listen to what our female guests are looking for and needing in a winter escape. We are thrilled to have an opportunity to work with the Vancouver Dyke March making the festival more inclusive and to attract the international and regional lesbian traveller. There are women specific Après Ski parties as well as the Purrlesque Friday Night party and the closing party on Saturday - “WOW!”
3. Why come to an event like WinterPride instead of just going to Whistler for a ski week on your own?
The advantage of coming during WinterPRIDE is the village vibe is remarkably different. Everyone loosens up, is having a great time and everyone can just be themselves without having to think in their mind “is this okay.” Also many of our resort partners have exclusive discounts and promotions during the week therefore making your vacation budget stretch that much more. You can also win some amazing prizes and of course you are meeting like minded people from all over the world. Many of our guests have found their life partners and made long time friends.
4. Tell me about the skiing and snow boarding. Do people all meet up to ski together or what? Yes, everyday
mean the fastest racer wins.... it is the skier that is the most consistent. Last year the winner guessed his time perfect! All proceeds this year go towards the Whistler Health Care Centre.
6. What about newbies? Can they get lessons? Yes, Whistler Blackcomb offers both private and group lessons. When you sign up and let the guest relations know you are with WinterPRIDE they will do their best to link you up with other WinterPRIDE guests.
7. What kinds of events do you have for non-skiers? There are so many amazing adventures to get into... we have the very passive adventures like culinary (mixology, wine tastings, beer sampling, progressive dinners), sightseeing on the Peak2Peak gondola; soft adventures like Inner Tubing, dog sledding, ice skating in the village, to relaxing and detoxing at one of our many spas... to more adrenaline adventures like Bungee Jumping, Snowmobile tours, ZipTreking, and new this year... Skelton! Imagine hovering just inches off a sheet of ice clocking some 70 mph head first down the fastest sliding track in the world! That is Skelton at the Whistler Olympic Sliding Centre... it is okay, totally safe... Skelton is the easiest of the three sliding sports and you have a full training session on how to slide safely!

8. What big women’s events do you have scheduled for 2013? This year we are working with a local grass roots organization - the Vancouver Dyke March to help build the women’s community at WinterPRIDE. They will be hosting a special Speed Dating Après on Friday and a games inspired Après for the Saturday afternoon Après. Retuning this year is the sensational and seductive Purrlesque Party hosted by the Vancouver Dyke March. Special guest performances by Lola Frost and April O’Peel and DJ Lisa DeLux will spin into the wee hours of the morning. WOW! Women of WinterPRIDE is the closing party for the women with DJ Kasey Riot and DJ SHE and loads of beautiful snow bunnies to get you in the mood to party the night away. All of WinterPRIDE events are accessible to everyone, so besides these two signature events... the girls will be at the Mix & Mingle Party, Cowboy/girl Party, Mad Hatter Party and of course the MGC Grand Finale and Fashion show with RuPaul’s Chad Michaels.
9. Is WinterPride a good place for singles? Or is it geared more toward couples? WinterPRIDE has a diverse offering so we have both singles, couples and swingers! So of course singles ares going to have a total rage just depends on what they are looking for.
10. Anything else you want to say about WinterPride? WinterPRIDE will be giving away some exciting prizes throughout the week including a Trip for 2 to Munich and Vienna courtesy of the Lufthansa Group. Much of the programming is similar from years past just refreshed a bit. The civic government has officially declared Feb. 3-10, 2013 “Pride Week in Whistler” and the Mayor herself will be presenting the Proclamation during the Mr. Gay Canada Fashion Show. Also on Thursday WinterPRIDE will host the second annual Pride ski-out and March through the village.

FAQ’S - STORY STARTERS AN INTERVIEW WITH DEAN NELSON, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF GAYWHISTLER’S WINTERPRIDE Whistler is not cheap, is WinterPRIDE a playground just for people with deep pockets?

STORY STARTERS
A LETTER TO WINTERPRIDE
SHARING HOW THE SKI WEEK TOUCHED ONE PERSON PROFOUNDLY
Tales from the Coat Check Two years ago our Rotary Club of Whistler Millennium was working the coat check for a Whistler Pride event at the Conference Centre. The group was incredibly generous with their donations to our Eradicate Polio Campaign and we were able to talk with several of the attendees regarding their visit to Whistler. A gentleman of about my age started chatting with me about my family and our feeling about Whistler Pride. We discussed at some length about how the town had always been so welcoming and then he told

me his story. His partner of 35 years had just recently passed away; but he had made this gentleman promise that he would still come to Whistler Pride to represent both of them. He told me that Whistler was, for years, the ONLY place they could vacation as a couple without fear of reprisals for their sexual orientation. He and his partner had never missed a week since the inception. He looked around the large gathering and mused that most of the younger men present had NO idea of just how lucky they were to enjoy the freedom of expressing their orientation that had, for years, been denied to them. What I still remember was his quiet dignity as he relayed all this to me. I have never forgotten him and the impact he had on me. Especially since Dean explained to me that for many in the Gay Community, Whistler held no connotation to the
