WORLD SKI & SNOWBOARD FESTIVAL BEGINS TODAY

The World Ski & Snowboard Festival (WSSF) kicks off today in Whistler, B.C. After being on hiatus from 2020 to 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the legendary festival roared back last year with a series of on and off-hill competitions, and this year’s installment of the weeklong event will be even bigger and better, with three ski and snowboard events, three multimedia events, free concerts, nightly raucous parties, and much more.

Here’s a look at what’s scheduled to go down over the course of this week in Whistler…
