SPEAKER SERIES 2024
We’ll be joined by Mount Seymour historian Alex Douglas (who you may also know as a summer ski camp historian) to learn about the history of Mount Seymour and its connections to the early years of Whistler Mountain.
From Seymour to Whistler will be presented on Monday, April 8 at the Whistler Museum. Tickets are available at the museum, either in person or by phone (604-932-2019).
SPECIAL EXHIBITION
The appearance of snowboarders on the slopes in the late 1980s caused a stir in the Whistler community. Though it was not all sunshine and rainbows at the start, the new “youthful” sport persisted and changed the resort landscape.
The Whistler Museum’s latest temporary exhibit, Off the Lip: The Rise of Snowboarding in Whistler, digs into the beginnings of snowboarding in Whistler, how it has impacted the resort, and what it meant for the snowboarding community around the world.
Off the Lip: The Rise of Snowboarding in Whistler will run from January 31 through April 30. Join us for an opening reception Wednesday, January 31 from 6:30 – 9 pm.
