This year we encourage you to be captivated by our spectacular province of British Columbia. Art lovers who seek a world-class art experience need not cross borders. The Audain Art Museum (AAM) in Whistler showcases a permanent collection of more than 200 works of art from British Columbia — from the 18th century to the present day — by diverse, internationally renowned artists.

After a long spring of hunkering down, staying home and staying local, the wanderlust is stronger than ever in many of us right now. Thankfully, British Columbia is opening back up and encouraging local and provincial travel and adventure, but cautiously so, with many new health and safety practices in place.

Pinning it, sending it, shredding, hucking… whatever you call it, mountain bikers have been coming to Whistler since the mid-1980s to ride down our rugged mountains. It all started in a primitive manner, without bike-specific trails as we know them and initially without chairlifts, but soon lift-accessed mountain biking became a booming business in Whistler. These days, bike parks have become a key summer attraction at many ski resorts around the globe.

The innovative cocktail scene in Whistler, with its beautiful glassware, thoughtful garnishes and on-trend complex flavours, may have once invited serious feelings of FOMO (fear of missing out) for non-alcohol imbibers yearning for a range of choices beyond boring water, juice or pop.
