TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival
Celebrate 10 days of sports, music and freeskiing during the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival. The Vancouver Sun newspaper calls this festival a "blast of rock and awe," with days full of eye-popping freeskiing events and après-ski action.
Held annually in April, the festival features professional ski and snowboard competitions, free daily concerts, film screening, photography viewings, family activities, plus plenty of skiing and riding. Visit the Demo Park to try out the newest ski and snowboard models.
At night, the atmosphere heats up with Kokanee Freeride, a showcase of Canadian musical talent. Free and ticketed events take place on Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, throughout Whistler Village as well as in various other venues.
There's no admission fee in effect for the festival, but some free events require a lift ticket to reach competition venues. Event tickets are available at various locations in Whistler.
CrankWorx
Several days, two wheels, and one adrenaline rush – that's Crankworx, Whistler's freeride mountain bike festival and a showcase of some of the most progressive mountain biking on the planet. It's also one of Canada's largest summer sport festivals.
Whistler Mountain Bike Park transforms into the hottest freeride playground in the world when Crankworx comes to town. Freeride athletes compete for big money in cash and prizes.
Watch world-class athletes rip up trails and down extreme verticals. The festival includes a concert series, professional demonstration shows and an exposition of the latest sports gear from top-rated mountain-bike manufacturers. Tickets are available through Whistler Guest Relations.
