Though life in Whistler does seem to revolve around skiers and snowboarders, the village doesnt come to a full-stop when the snow melts.
Instead, the change from winter to summer (is there an in-between season up there?) means you can enjoy Whistler and surrounding area in new ways: from inside an ATV; from atop a horse trotting along a mountain trail; while screaming in terror-mixed exhilaration as you zoom down a zipline.
In addition to being the home-base for these summer-centric outdoor activities, Whistler Village will play host to an array of arts and cultural activities over the summer months, including a jam-packed and delectably diverse line-up of free concerts at the Whistler Olympic Plaza.
Performers include Ali Milner, The Lost Fingers, The Boom Booms, Hey Ocean! Dessy Di Lauro, Maestro and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. Yes, our very own world-renowned symphony orchestra will perform three very different concerts on the outdoor stage between July 19-21 (as well as a number of quartets and quintets on July 16 and 17).
