It’s safe to say Whistler is the epicenter of the mountain bike world. Visitors flock from all over the globe to ride the famous Whistler Bike Park and more and more riders of all abilities visit each year to explore the endless singletrack trails in the valley. This amazing dirt-based sport sustains a rich and vibrant mountain...

Camping season is here! Aside from the essentials and a 6 pack of Apres Lager, we've rounded up Whistler locals must have camping gear of the 2018 season. There are so many "extras" when it comes to camping gear that it gets pretty tricky to know what's worth bringing and when. The best way not to get overwhelmed when selecting only...

Assembling a team of stoke is not a task we took lightly. Whistler is oozing with passionate individuals following their dreams and leaving a trail of inspiration along the way. Fuelled by a go-getter attitude at Gibbons, we wanted to find like-minded movers and shakers in our Whistler world for our Après Lager team. We proudly...

Few dates of the year garner as much attention as Halloween in Whistler, followed closely by Australia Day and New Years. The snow hasn’t yet fallen (well, maybe just a little!), and people are chomping at the bit for a night of some good fun to liven the shoulder season of fall before the snow starts flying.

The 120 or so kilometers that wind up the dramatic coast from Vancouver, British Columbia to the mountain bubble of Whistler is aptly known as the Sea-to-Sky highway.
