I’d seen photos of the ice caves before, but nothing prepared me for what it would actually feel like to stand inside one. So on a warm summer morning, I joined Beyond Whistler’s Immersive Experience to explore one of the most remote and remarkable landscapes in British Columbia.

If you want to experience a new side of Whistler, here’s everything you need to know.

Journey to The Pemberton Icefield

Covering roughly 300 square kilometres, the Pemberton Icefield is a massive network of glaciers, deep crevasses, and natural ice caves located just west of Whistler, on the shared territories of the Lil’wat Nation (L̓il̓wat7úl) and the Squamish Nation (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh).

Wind, meltwater, and ice pressure constantly shape the landscape, so what you see one season can look completely different the next, which is part of what makes each visit so unique. There are no trails, no roads, and no shortcuts to the ice caves, allowing visitors to explore a truly remote part of the mountains that most people never get to see. 

“It’s an incredible privilege to guide guests through this landscape,” says Marc Cousineau, Partner and General Manager at Beyond Whistler. “Our goal is to do so with the utmost respect for the land and the remarkable places we have the opportunity to explore.” 

Beyond Whistler’s Ice Cave Immersive Experience

So, what’s on the itinerary?

Lift Off from Whistler

Our trip begins at the Whistler Heliport, where we meet Marc, Partner and General Manager at Beyond Whistler, and Marty, our Mountain Guide. They go over everything we’ll need to know for our adventure, and with our gear on, we walk over to Blackcomb Helicopters to prepare for our flight (they offset 100% of their carbon footprint).

The helicopter feels like an experience in itself, as we fly over the ancient forests of the Soo Valley and into the Coast Mountains. Over the eight- to 15-minute flight, our pilot points out rivers, mountain peaks and even a volcano, before landing on the glacier in the heart of the Pemberton Icefield.

Touch Down on the Pemberton Icefield

As we step out onto the ice and breathe in the crisp alpine air, it feels like we’ve arrived in a place truly untouched. Surrounded by snow and glacial plains, the vast landscape stretches out in every direction. Despite standing on ancient ice, the summer sun brought the temperature up to almost 18°C, and I immediately understood why the guides recommended wearing sunscreen.

After taking in the sweeping views of the Coast Mountains, Marty hands us our spikes and our helmets and leads us across the glacier toward the first hidden ice cave.

Whistler Ice Cave Exploration

This is where everything shifts. At first, I can barely make out the entrance hidden beneath the snow, but following Marty inside, a completely different world begins to emerge. The sound changes. The light changes. Even the temperature feels different.

In the caves, the ice walls glow with a vibrant natural light, a luminescence shifting from pale blue to deep sapphire as it filters through centuries-old ice. The air is still, the colours almost unreal, and every turn reveals a new ice formation carved by nature itself.

As Marty leads us deeper into the caves, he shares more about the icefield and the care that’s taken to explore it responsibly – ensuring every visit leaves as little impact as possible. They follow the Leave No Trace philosophy, keep group sizes deliberately small, and anything brought to the environment is taken back out or is temporary.

Back outside, we climb into the Can-Am side-by-side and race across the glacier toward another section of the icefield. The ride itself feels like part of the adventure, weaving between gentle snow-covered ridges before arriving at an entirely different cave.

Inside, we’re greeted by an enormous frozen waterfall stretching from floor to ceiling. Hours feel like minutes as we wander through winding passages, stopping often to simply take it all in. Every corner reveals something new, and we become completely absorbed in a landscape that feels almost impossible to describe.

Après Ice Cave

The perfect ending to an incredible day? Of course, après. Our group unwinds with a gourmet charcuterie spread of local produce from Picnic Whistler, along with a crisp glass of Veuve Clicquot champagne, while we take in the stunning Coast Mountain views.

Journey Home

Before we know it, it’s already time to head back on board the helicopter for one last adventure. Looking back across the icefield from above, I find myself appreciating just how vast and wild this landscape really is. Within minutes, we’re already back in Whistler, but it feels as though we’ve travelled much farther than the distance on the map.

Go Beyond The Ordinary in Whistler

Some experiences stay with you long after the journey ends.

Standing inside a glowing ice cave, surrounded by walls of ice carved by centuries of shifting glaciers, it’s impossible not to feel a sense of wonder. It’s a rare glimpse into a landscape that few people ever experience – and a reminder that there are still places waiting to be discovered.

Beyond Whistler’s Ice Cave experiences are available year-round, and no previous mountain experience is required. Follow them on Instagram for more ice cave pictures.

Skiing and beer often go hand in hand, so it’s no surprise that Whistler has a long history of brewing beer, years before craft breweries really hit their stride.

In 1974, Whistler locals started a popular homebrewing contest that ran annually for 20 years. Things became more serious in 1982, when nearby Horseshoe Bay Brewery began producing Bay Ale for the Troller Pub, becoming a pioneer of Canada’s modern craft beer movement. Shortly after, in 1989, Whistler could boast its own craft brewery, Whistler Brewing Company, which is still going strong today!

Today, Whistler has three breweries — Coast Mountain Brewing, Whistler Brewing and Brewhouse — plus plenty of pubs and restaurants showcasing craft beer from across British Columbia. Whether you want a beer brewed right here in Whistler or a tasting tour of BC’s craft beer scene, there’s a pint for every preference. Here are six places I’d start.

Whistler Craft Beer Spots at a Glance

Must-Try Whistler Breweries

If you’re serious about truly local beer, make the trip south of Whistler Village to Function Junction and visit two of Whistler’s homegrown breweries in one outing. And if you’re up for making it even more of an adventure, take the Peak Pedal Brews guided e-bike brewery tour or head out with Whistler Valley Tours. 

1. Coast Mountain Brewing – As Local as it Gets

Coast Mountain Brewing is the home of the best IPA in the world (in my humble opinion). When I was stuck out of the country during the 2020 pandemic, this IPA was my craving that simply could not be satisfied by any other brew. If you’re on the hunt for a true locals’ hangout, with an authentic craft brewery vibe, where the focus is 100% on the beer, this is the spot. 

2. Whistler Brewing Company – The Oldest Kid on the Block 

Less than a five-minute walk down the road, Whistler Brewing offers a completely different experience. With long tables, big patios and plenty of room for groups, it’s an easy choice when your crew is large, or when your stomach is calling for more than just beer.

Bringing your non-beer-drinking friends? They have a very special ginger beer on tap, Denville Ginger Beer, brewed just down the road in Squamish.  

3. High Mountain Brewing Company Brewhouse –  Brewed in the Heart of the Village 

If your schedule doesn’t allow you to venture out of the Village, but you’re still desperate to try a local brew, Brewhouse boasts the only beer brewed right in the heart of Whistler Village.

With one of Whistler’s best patios, Brewhouse is the perfect spot for a sunny afternoon of beer tasting. Featuring a very full menu from seafood to pizza to steak, there is something yummy for the whole family. 

Where to Try BC Craft Beer in Whistler 

While we will always be a little biased toward our incredible beers brewed here in Whistler, British Columbia is home to countless world-class breweries that also deserve a spot on your palate. So why not get a taste of our regional beer scene while you’re here in Whistler? 

4. Hunter Gather Eatery & Taphouse – Taste the Sea to Sky  

If your ideal meal is calling for locally sourced eats to go with your local brews, Hunter Gather not only pours exclusively BC beers but also sources its ingredients locally.

Order one of their delicious handhelds (the chicken shawarma is my personal favourite) with Pemberton Potatoes, pair it with their most popular beer, the Trailbreaker Pale Ale from Backcountry Brewing in Squamish, and you have the whole Sea to Sky covered in one meal! 

5. The Beacon Pub & Eatery – Right in the Thick of It

Offering another extensive selection of BC beers, along with the ultimate people-watching spot from their sprawling patio, stop by The Beacon to pair your brew with the bustle of the heart of the Village. The perfect spot for year-round après, located just a short walk from the gondola, this is a favourite locals’ hangout. 

6. Fitzsimmons Pub – Small Pub, Big BC Beer Selection

With its small, cozy setting, the Fitzsimmons Pub is a step out of the hustle and bustle and the spot to go for a good conversation over delicious BC beers. And if the conversation alone isn’t enough, they have your entertainment sorted with an epic stack of board games.

Sporting an ever-rotating selection of BC beers, they also have something special for the non-drinkers: one of the best non-alcoholic beers I’ve ever tried, Dry Side of the Moon Hefeweizen by Brass Monkey Brewing Co. 

Whatever your flavour and whichever your vibe, Whistler’s craft beer scene has a spot for you. Whether you’re sipping a beer brewed right here in the valley or discovering a new favourite from elsewhere in BC, there are plenty of reasons to raise a glass while you’re here. Cheers!

“Oh my god, I’ve always wanted to own a bookstore!”

“Ha. So many people say that to me,” says Armchair Books owner Sarah Temporale. “Almost everyone. Or they say, ‘this must be the best job in the world.’ And for me, it is. I just don’t get as much reading in as I used to.”

Whistler’s only bookstore, Armchair Books, opened in Whistler Village in 1982 when Squamish resident Hazel Ellis found a tiny, 300-square-foot space tucked into a corner of one of the first buildings completed in Whistler Village and filled it with books.

“That’s two years before I was even born,” Sarah says. “Floor-to-ceiling books in the space that now holds just our children’s section. And Whistler Village was basically still a construction site. It must have been wild.”

It was. Village construction in the early 80s was halted by an economic recession, and Whistler’s future was unsteady, to say the least. The community only boasted 1365 full-time residents according to the 1981 government census.

“Of course, back in those days, Whistler only had one busy season, December to March,” says Dan Ellis, who took over Armchair Books from his mother in 1999. “We’d have line-ups out the door until April, and then for the next eight months it would just be locals. My mom didn’t mind because that gave her more chances to read at work, and of course, the Whistler community showed up and supported us. With such a small space, Mom was able to keep the store going until the Village slowly started getting summer visitors too.”

From 300 Square Feet to a Whistler Institution

Hazel expanded the shop in the early 1990s, then expanded again once the Whistler Post Office vacated their overflowing space behind the bookstore. When Dan took over in 1998, the shop boasted 1200 square feet of book lovers’ paradise. “I have three brothers,” he says, “but I am the only one who loves to read, so I came on board and let Mom have a break.”

A post shared by @bookswithvees

In the early days especially, Dan would allow his employees to read at work, “so long as you put the book down when a customer comes in.” As Whistler grew into a year-round destination, however, reading time in the shop has diminished. “Over the years you get to know people,” Dan says. “Locals for sure, but also guests from all over the world that come in two or three times a year. I’d get to know them, and know their kids and greet people by name when they came in. That resonates with people, and it resonates with me too. Book lovers can be some of the most intelligent, fantastic and crazy people. Sometimes I felt more like a bartender, just listening to people spill their life’s story to me.”

One of those intelligent, fantastic customers was a young Sarah Temporale, who arrived in Whistler as a bright-eyed 24-year-old snowboarder who quickly found work in both a restaurant and a snowboard shop to finance her new life of shredding as much as possible, and reading in whatever downtime she could find.

“I was on the bus one day with a friend,” says Sarah. “When we sat down, my friend knew the person next to us and introduced her as Jeanette, and mentioned that she works at the bookstore. And I said, ‘Oh my God, I would love to work there!’ Because that is what everyone says.”

But in this case, Armchair Books was hiring. “We needed someone part-time,” Dan says. “Just one day a week. I knew Sarah as a great customer, a great reader. We were waiting for her to bring in a resume. She started as a part-timer and slowly but surely became a full-timer and then assistant manager.”

Sarah matched the store’s vibe and clientele as tightly as the air inside a balloon. This became important every autumn as Armchair played an increasingly larger role in the Whistler Writers Festival, which sees authors and readers from across the country converge in Whistler for a long weekend of readings, seminars, workshops and fun literary soirees. The fest takes place in the Fairmont Chateau Whistler hotel every year, and Armchair is onsite as the official bookseller.

“Dan set that up early on with the festival,” Sarah says. “We set up a pop-up shop with all the books the attending authors are presenting. It can be tricky to figure out how many of each book to bring in because a lot of the time, it depends on how engaging the author is at their event. Sometimes an unknown author who can connect with the live audience ends up outselling everyone.”

A New Chapter for Armchair Books

Dan handed the keys to the shop over to Sarah in 2023. “I was in my late 50s and feeling like there’s still a lot of stuff I’d like to do while I’m young,” he says. “I knew I wanted to leave the shop in the hands of someone who thinks about community and the people here. It’s about more than just books. Sarah figured out how to make that happen.”

“If I didn’t buy it,” Sarah says, “I think Dan would still be there!”

Personally, I’ve been an Armchair Books customer since 1988. And I can say with confidence that beyond a few cosmetic changes and a slightly updated/curated list of books on the shelves, not much else has changed under Sarah’s “new regime.” The staff still knows our names, the books I want are usually there (and if not, Sarah is quick to order them in), and my own son has outgrown the kids’ section (which I still remember as the whole store).

Books, Community and the Whistler Writers Festival

And you can bet Sarah will have her book table set up at this year’s  25^th anniversary of the Whistler Writers Festival, set for November 5 to 8, 2026 at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler, the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre, and the Whistler Public Library.

“I always wanted to work in a bookstore,” Sarah says. “The opportunity to do that and live what so many people think of as a dream… And to be part of such a legacy here in Whistler, joining something that has been part of this community since before I was alive and be able to usher it into its next chapter. That’s a big responsibility, but it’s also pretty special.”

And while Sarah admits running a small business definitely means she isn’t getting to read as much, Armchair founder Hazel Ellis is reading more than ever. “Oh yeah,” Dan says. “She’s 87, and she’s killing it. She lives two blocks from me and reads three to four books a week and only sees the bright side of things; that’s kept her healthy. I guess that’s her secret.”

That’s the magic of books: they can give you a life most only dream of, and a long one at that.

And that doesn’t always happen by accident. There are people, organizations and businesses that deliberately cultivate community, and that’s who we want to showcase in this series. Join our host, Mike Douglas, a member-at-large of Protect Our Winters Canada, pro skier, enviro nerd and Whistler local, as he shines a light on how Whistler cultivates its unique sense of community.

In video #5, we join Elyse Feaver, Engagement Manager at the Audain Art Museum. Elyse discusses how art brings people together, the value of a change of pace, and that you never really know where a moment of inspiration will lead.

What is the Audain Art Museum?

When the Audain Art Museum opened its doors in Whistler in March 2016, it brought something new to the community: a dedicated home for the art and cultural heritage of British Columbia. Founded by Michael Audain and Yoshiko Karasawa, the Museum was designed by the award-winning firm Patkau Architects. Its 56,000-square-foot building was carefully designed for its setting in the forest, creating a quiet, contemplative space for the Museum’s Permanent Collection and Special Exhibitions. 

The Permanent Collection now includes more than 300 works spanning centuries of British Columbia’s artistic history, including Indigenous art, Emily Carr, contemporary artists and the Vancouver photo-conceptualists. But the Museum was envisioned as more than a place to house great art. Its founders imagined a place for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience art—a place for contemplation, connection and appreciation.  

Why was Whistler receptive to the Audain Art Museum?

A Change of Pace in Whistler

One of the most wonderful things about the Museum is that it offers a different pace from much of life in Whistler.

You can spend the morning skiing, biking or hiking and then walk into the Museum and suddenly find yourself slowing down. Instead of looking toward the next run or checking the weather, you are standing in front of a painting, a photograph, a carving or a mask and simply looking. Really looking. That change of pace is valuable.

A post shared by Audain Art Museum (@audainartmuseum)

The Audain Art Museum’s Collection tells stories about British Columbia through Indigenous art, historic and contemporary works, and artists who have helped shape our understanding of this place. Its educational programs are designed not simply to tell visitors what they are looking at, but to encourage conversation, curiosity and deeper understanding. 

The Impact of Youth & Family Programming

The Museum’s youth and family programs are intentionally designed around that kind of participation, combining looking, making, experimenting and conversation. One of the most meaningful reminders of why the Museum matters to our community came years after an Architecture and Design workshop.

A teenager had taken part in the workshop; at the time, it was simply one of the many programs we offered—a chance for young people to explore ideas, experiment, build, design and think creatively about the world around them. But something clicked for this particular student. The workshop opened up a new way of thinking about architecture and design. Perhaps it was the freedom to imagine something that didn’t exist yet, or the opportunity to turn an idea into something tangible. Whatever it was, the experience stayed with her.

Years later, I received a note from that same young person. She was now attending architecture school and wanted to tell me that she remembered the workshop at the Museum and that it had helped inspire her interest in architecture. I have to admit that note stayed with me.

We often think about the impact of a museum in terms of what happens inside its galleries—the exhibitions people see, the artists they discover, the conversations that take place. But sometimes the most important impact happens much more quietly. A child or teenager walks through the door, tries something new, discovers an idea that excites them, and then carries that experience into the rest of their life.

You never really know where a moment of inspiration will lead.

How do you draw people into the Audain Art Museum who might not think an art museum is “for them”?

We spend time thinking about the different ways people can engage with art and the Museum. People can join us for a yoga class with the beautiful architecture as the backdrop; we have an alfresco long table dinner event that happens under the Museum in the summer; kids can try their hand at stop-motion animation or architecture and design, and teens gather here with their friends for a painting session.

Being Open to the Experience

I have always loved the idea that you don’t need to consider yourself an art expert to enjoy the Museum. You can walk through the doors knowing absolutely nothing about a particular artist or period and still have a reaction to something.

• Maybe a piece reminds you of somewhere you’ve been.
• Maybe it makes you uncomfortable or brings you to tears.
• Maybe you suddenly notice a colour or a detail that you would have walked past five minutes earlier.
• Maybe you start asking questions.

That, to me, is the beginning of the experience.

The Museum’s programming has increasingly created opportunities for people to go beyond simply looking at art. Family programs invite people to make things together. Youth programs combine close observation in the galleries with hands-on studio work. School programs connect art with learning, discussion, creativity and British Columbia’s cultural history.

Challenging Expectations

One of the things I have come to appreciate about having an art museum in Whistler is watching people arrive with one expectation and leave with another.

A family might come because they are looking for something to do on a rainy afternoon. A teenager might arrive because their class is visiting. Someone might come along with a friend who loves art and assume they won’t have much to say about it. Then something catches their attention. They stop. They ask a question. They start talking, and suddenly the visit becomes more than a walk through a gallery.

That is the kind of transformation that doesn’t necessarily announce itself. There isn’t always a dramatic “aha” moment. Sometimes inspiration is much quieter. It might be a child discovering that they can make art themselves. It might be a teenager realizing that their own creative ideas have value. It might be an adult discovering a British Columbia artist they had never encountered before.

The Art of the Cocktail

The Art of the Cocktail events have been really popular. We focus on a certain exhibition or artist and then work with a local bar or restaurant to develop a cocktail that reflects the artwork. We’ve also hosted special Halloween and holiday editions, toasted to the RMOW’s 50th anniversary, and celebrated Emily Carr’s birthday with cocktails inspired by her time in Paris in the 1920s. It’s another way to connect and celebrate with the local community.

How does the Audain Art Museum create a sense of community in Whistler?

The events and programs at the Audain Art Museum create community by giving people opportunities to come together, connect and share experiences beyond the usual rhythms of Whistler life.

Whether it’s starting the day with yoga in the beautiful Cressey Hall, gathering for The Art of the Cocktail, celebrating an exhibition opening, or learning something new in an adult art class, each experience creates a chance to meet people and connect through a shared interest.

Our Artist Dinner Series, along with artist and curatorial talks, bring people closer to the stories behind the art, while public tours encourage conversation and discovery. And our member-exclusive events create an even stronger sense of belonging—bringing together people who share a genuine interest in the Museum and its role in the community.

Crossing Paths & Shared Moments

What I love is that these events attract people who might not otherwise cross paths. A local resident, an artist, a visitor, a longtime member or someone attending their first event can find themselves sitting together, talking and sharing an experience.

That is how a museum becomes more than a place to see art. It becomes a place to meet, learn, celebrate and belong.

I think that is particularly meaningful in Whistler. We are already a community built around shared experiences—sport, the outdoors and adventure. The Museum adds another dimension: a place to slow down, be curious, be creative and connect with one another through culture.

In the end, it is those shared moments—sometimes unexpected, sometimes lasting—that help create a true sense of community.

The post Cultivating Community Series: Audain Art Museum appeared first on The Whistler Insider.

The 30^th edition offers 11 days of tantalization. Spread across venues throughout Whistler, the festival features more than 100 events, ranging from tastings and drink seminars to winemaker dinners, culinary demonstrations and parties. It beckons visitors and locals alike to savour and relish what promises to be another unforgettable feast for the senses.

For Starters: How Whistler Cornucopia Began

“Cornucopia was created as a way to showcase Whistler’s food and beverage scene,” relays event co-director Jasmine Robinson. “What began as a relatively small food-and-wine festival has evolved considerably over nearly three decades into one of Whistler’s signature events.”

Robinson reflects fondly on how Cornucopia has expanded from its roots to embrace beer, spirits, cocktails, Indigenous and regional cuisine, comedy, entertainment and more. The mouthwatering festival has become much more than just eating and drinking, growing into a broader celebration of food, wine, hospitality and, most importantly, the people behind it.

The people behind the extravaganza include, but are not limited to, the chefs, sommeliers, servers, brewers and distillers, fermenters, foragers, industry experts and curious connoisseurs. 

Who Goes to Whistler Cornucopia?

Cornucopia attracts a mix of Whistler locals and visitors, including food lovers travelling from the Lower Mainland and Washington specifically for the festival. With everything from educational drink seminars and intimate dinners to large-scale tastings and parties, you can build an itinerary around how social, educational or indulgent you want your experience to be.

The age range is mixed, and a tell-tale sign of success is that the festival welcomes returning event-goers year after year; repeat customers ready to sink their teeth into the abundant offerings.

Enter the Entrée: What’s Happening at Cornucopia 2026

Cornucopia kicks off the winter season in savoury and sweet style! This year’s 30^th anniversary celebrations take things a few steps further, impressive for a festival that successfully evolves and extends its programming each year (there are more than 100 events this November).

What’s New for Cornucopia’s 30th Anniversary?

There are two events celebrating Cornucopia’s 30th anniversary, set to honour all the aspects of what Cornucopia has come to be: a festivity of feasting with descriptors that range from vibrant to adventurous, social to creative, educational to energetic, and indulgent.

There’s the 30th Dinner with Reception on Friday, November 6, which starts with a wine tasting reception followed by an unforgettable multi-course dinner featuring exceptional culinary talent, thoughtfully selected pairings and stories from the festival’s past and present. Raise a glass to the chefs, producers and food lovers who have shaped three decades of Cornucopia, and to what comes next.

And on Saturday, November 14, celebrate 30 years of Cornucopia at a glamorous, high-energy Gala inspired by the Horn of Plenty, with abundant food, exceptional drinks, live entertainment, music and dancing. Embrace the Greek-inspired theme and raise a glass to three decades of chefs, producers and guests who have helped make Cornucopia what it is today. There’s also an early-entry option that includes a mini-feast!

Must-Try Cornucopia Events

With more than 100 events on the 2026 program, there’s no single way to experience Cornucopia. These are some of the signature experiences and event formats to look for:

• CRUSH Grand Tasting — the flagship large-scale tasting and one of the festival’s longest-running favourites
• Culinary Stage Series — chef-led demonstrations and tastings: similar to a live cooking show where guests get to try the food!
• Drink Seminars — educational tastings covering wine, spirits, beer and cocktails
• Winemaker Dinners — intimate multi-course dinners paired with wines and featuring winemakers and producers
• BC House Party — a lively opening celebration showcasing BC food and drink
• Night Market — a more casual, social format combining food and beverages with a themed experience
• And the various restaurant and bar events that allow guests to experience Whistler’s dining scene during the festival

Event directors note that they intentionally balance crowd favourites with added annual diversified programming to honour the events people love while continuing to introduce new experiences.

How to Arrange the Courses: Planning Your Cornucopia Experience

There’s no single way to experience Cornucopia. Tickets are sold by event, so you can build a festival itinerary around your interests, budget and length of stay. And there are many to choose from; view the Festival Program here.

“Guests can create their own itinerary based on their interests,” Robinson explains. “You might start with a morning culinary demonstration, head to a drink seminar in the afternoon, have a winemaker dinner that evening and finish the night at one of the festival’s larger social events.”

There are also different scales of experience. The large signature events take place in venues such as the Whistler Conference Centre, while restaurants, hotels, bars and other venues throughout the Village host smaller, more intimate events.

Cornucopia is essentially a ‘choose your own adventure.’ You can dip into Cornucopia for one night or build an entire Whistler getaway around the 11-day festival – variety is a huge part of the appeal.

And for Dessert: Cornucopia’s Impact on Whistler

Whistler transforms during Cornucopia. There is a buzz in the Village as restaurants, hotels and venues come alive. A feeling of excitement fills the air, floating on the wonderful aromas wafting across town. But perhaps the best flavour and lingering taste of note is that Cornucopia’s positive impact on the local economy and community extends beyond the 11 days.

Local charities benefit from the festival each year, one of the best takeaways from the food and drink festival of plenty. Cornucopia is steeped in a tradition of sharing, and this year it’s supporting the Whistler Community Services Society.

With something for everyone, come break bread with others, share in the communality and community of food and drink appreciation with friends new, old and yet-to-be-made: celebrating an autumn of abundance at Whistler Cornucopia.

Here’s what’s going on this month in Whistler.

Outdoor Adventure

You’ll find us:

• Gathering at the start line of the Whistler 50 Relay & Ultra on October 3, where participants assemble a team of four or eight people for the 80-kilometre (50-mile) relay, or go solo for the 50-kilometre (30-mile) ultra.
• Enjoying the beauty of the Lost Lake trail at the annual Whistler Turkey Trot on October 11. There is a family-friendly Drumstick Dash 5 KM route, or the Gravy Burner 10 KM. This event always sells out, so be sure to secure your spot in advance.
• Ripping in the fall mountain biking conditions, which bring cooler temperatures and grippier dirt to send off the bike season. Ride the Whistler Mountain Bike Park until the lifts stop spinning on October 12, then pedal Whistler’s extensive network of cross-country mountain bike trails until the snowline hits the valley. For inspiration on where to go cross-country biking, read our blog, Top 10 Whistler Cross-Country Mountain Bike Trails.
• Getting muddy on an ATV Adventure, like the Call of the Wild tour or the Wild Wild West tour with Canadian Wilderness Adventures. Whether you are a beginner looking for a family-friendly activity or a thrill-seeker looking to get the adrenaline pumping on the mountain, there are tours for all levels.
• Making the most of the final few weeks of hiking season. Fall is a great time to hike, as the vibrant autumnal colours set the scene for stunning views along the way. Check out our Insider’s Guide: Finding Fall Colours on Whistler’s Trails for some route planning inspiration. See rain in the forecast? Check out our Hiking in the Rain: Tips for When it Drips blog for tips on how to get out there regardless of the weather forecast.

• Recharging with a morning yoga practice, guided SUP session or an invigorating cold plunge, all part of the inaugural Whistler Outdoor Festival. From October 9 to 11, experience mountain adventure and outdoor culture with guided daily activities.
• Getting in the final swings of the golf season. Fall offers some of the best playing conditions, with cooler temperatures and increased moisture making the greens lush and vibrant, while the colours of autumn provide a stunning backdrop. Book your tee time at one of the incredible courses around Whistler before the close (typically mid-October). Note that Whistler Golf Club is closed until summer 2027 for renovations.
• Safely spotting Whistler’s furriest residents on a Bear Viewing Tour. Fall is a great time to join a bear viewing tour (typically running until mid-October), as they’re preparing for their winter hibernation and chowing down! If you are hoping to spot bears while in Whistler, the best and safest way is through a bear viewing tour.
• Experiencing Whistler through the eyes of a local with Whistler Valley Tours. Tours run rain or shine and cover the entire Whistler Valley, including the Village, lakes, parks, artisan zones and Olympic venues, all tied together with a flowing and informative commentary on the history behind it all.
• Resetting at the Four Seasons Spa, with a Salish Salt Stone Massage, Mountain Path Pedicure and the Elemental Gold Repair Facial. Spa guests can complement their treatment experience with access to their heated outdoor pool, hot spring-style whirlpools and cedar barrel sauna overlooking Whistler’s autumnal landscape.
• Checking out the fall colours as the leaves of Whistler’s deciduous trees start to turn bright yellow, orange and red before they drop. Discover some top spots to admire the fall foliage in our blog, The Best Fall Views in Whistler.

The post The Local’s List: What’s On in October appeared first on The Whistler Insider.

Did you know that Whistler has an art museum that contains one of the world’s finest collections of Northwest Coast First Nations masks and a large collection of works by Emily Carr? That there are over 130 Sea to Sky artists and artisans who are regularly featured in revolving exhibits at Arts Whistler? That you can connect with a Cultural Ambassador at the Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh and L̓il̓wat7úl Cultural Centre and revel in the stories of the land you’re visiting? That you can see Olympic memorabilia at the Whistler Museum and join an artist-run workshop in a historic building on the shores of Alta Lake?

Below is a sample of what’s happening in Whistler’s arts and culture this fall and winter. You can also take a look at our events calendar and search by arts, culture and entertainment.

Audain Art Museum

Right in the heart of Whistler Village, the Audain Art Museum melds seamlessly with its environs thanks to internationally renowned Patkau Architects. Look for the six-metre-tall bronze sculpture, The Three Watchmen, by revered Indigenous artists James Hart (7idansuu), Xwalacktun and Levi Nelson (Svpyan), that connects the building with the Village Stroll.

The Audain’s Permanent Collection

A visit offers a diverse journey through the history of art from coastal British Columbia, featuring 300+ works in its Permanent Collection. Spanning the 18th century to the present day, the Collection contains one of the world’s finest collections of Northwest Coast First Nations masks, a large collection of works by Emily Carr, hereditary Haida Chief James Hart’s The Dance Screen (The Scream Too), as well as pieces by post-war modernists and key works from Vancouver’s photo-conceptualism movement.

Current Exhibitions at the Audain

Takao Tanabe

The Audain brings unique and evolving exhibitions from Canada and around the world to Whistler. On display until September 21, 2026 is the stunning Vistas: From Takao Tanabe’s Travels. Tanabe’s fascination with landscapes comes vividly to life through his travels across British Columbia, North America, the Arctic and Europe. Tanabe captured their geographical features and unique atmosphere, translating his photos into paintings that balance careful observation with poetic reflection. His works invite quiet contemplation, as if he listens intently to the land itself and invites you to do the same.

A post shared by Audain Art Museum (@audainartmuseum)

Tanabe has a second exhibition at the Audain celebrating his 100th birthday and his extraordinary contributions to Canadian art. Takao Tanabe 100: Inside Passage features over fifty paintings spanning more than six decades, offering a comprehensive look at his evolving visual language and the remarkable breadth of Tanabe’s artistic practice. This exhibit is on until October 19, 2026.

Solstice: Through Storm and Stillness: October 2, 2026 to April 12, 2027

Solstice: Through Storm and Stillness brings together works from the Audain’s Permanent Collection that reflect on endurance, resilience and the quiet momentum of moving through difficult seasons. Through painting, sculpture, and photography, the exhibition invites viewers to consider winter not only as a time of hardship, but as a necessary season of pause, persistence, and eventual transformation. The featured artists, Andrew Dadson, Gathie Falk, Gordon Smith, Karin Bubaš, Kim Dorland and Landon Mackenzie explore weather as both a literal and metaphorical force.

Eleven Painters Start a War: November 21, 2026 to May 3, 2027

Eleven Painters Start a War tells the story of Painters Eleven, a group of trailblazing abstract artists whose ethos was defined by creative freedom, diversity of approach, and a refusal to accept aesthetic complacency. Through their perseverance, they reshaped the Canadian art landscape, pushing abstract painting into galleries, critical discourse, and public awareness, even as they faced significant opposition from the established art world.

Audain Art Museum Events

The Audain hosts innovative and exciting events throughout the year, so make sure you check their events page. Here’s a selection of what’s happening at the Audain this fall.

Sunday Scribbles, Family Art-Making Sessions

Bring the kiddos to the Audain on Sundays from 1 to 3 PM for hands-on art activities for the whole family. Explore different materials and techniques while learning about some of the artworks on display at the Museum in a relaxed and welcoming session that encourages creativity, curiosity and connection. This drop-in experience is included with the cost of admission and is free with AAM Membership; no registration is required, and all art supplies are included.

The Art of the Cocktail

These fun and popular mixology events include gallery admission, cocktail instruction and a tasting; however, they all have a different art-connected theme. In September, the event celebrates the winner of the Audain’s Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Visual Arts; in November, it’s combined with Whistler Cornucopia, and the December event will celebrate Emily Carr’s birthday.

Yoga at the Audain Art Museum

Classes emphasize breathing, alignment and ease as you stretch and strengthen your body and mind. Registration includes access to the Museum galleries on the day of the yoga session.

Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre

The resort town of Whistler is located on the shared, unceded territory of the Lil’wat Nation, known in their language as L̓il̓wat7úl, and the Squamish Nation, known in their language as Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh. The Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre (SLCC) is a place where both distinct cultures meet, grow and are shared.

Museum admission includes a “What We Treasure” guided tour. Every tour is unique as each Cultural Ambassador draws on their personal stories and experiences to bring the artifacts to life, and includes a welcome song and an inspiring short film. Some regalia clothing and canoes on display are still in use, and the spacious, light-filled building allows visitors to feel the connection between the living cultures of the Squamish and Lil’wat nations and their home territory.

Current Exhibit – Wisdom of the Animal People

Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh & Líl̓wat7ul Ways of Knowing

Animals play important roles in Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh Úxwumixw and Líl̓wat7úl cultures. They wear their hides as clothing, feature them in artwork, stories, songs and dances, and use them as an important educational tool to share history, morals and values with their children. Learn about the animal-based legends from both distinct Nations; how humans are known as the younger siblings and about the belief that animals, birds, people and land are one and the same.

The SLCC is hosting a Wisdom of the Animal People: Cultural Sharing event on Friday, October 2, and Saturday, October 3, complementing the exhibit and featuring Chinook Song Catchers, Alex Wells Native Thunder, Proud Little Warriors, Yex̱wela7 Cht, Spo7ez Cultural Sharing, with storytelling from Holly Bikadi, Sík Sík Josh Anderson and more.

We Heart Local Art: October 21 to December 19

This upcoming Gallery exhibit will feature artwork from all your favourite local artists. It’s the perfect place to find original local artwork for yourself or to give as a gift this holiday season.

The People’s Film

Since Whistler lost its cinema, Arts Whistler has been filling the film gap by asking its members and the general public what they want to see on the big screen with their The People’s Film series.  The September 23 theme is “Books on Film”, celebrating the Whistler Public Library’s 40^th Anniversary, with a screening of The Martian. For Halloween, on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, it’s the classic slasher film Scream. And on October 29, step into the madness of the ultimate cult classic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

The theme isn’t set for their November film just yet, but we know you’ll need to don your ugliest Christmas sweater for a holiday classic on December 16.

Three performers. Three approaches to magic. For one night only, the Maury Young Theatre transforms into an evening of astonishing sleight of hand, impossible illusions, and laugh-out-loud comedy as three of Canada’s acclaimed magicians take the stage for MAGIC! From Travis’s award-winning sleight of hand and mind-bending magic, to Nayana’s genre-bending blend of clown, physical theatre and illusion, to Ben’s highly technical card work, this event is for anyone who likes to ask – how did they do that?!

The post What’s On This Fall & Winter: Whistler’s Arts & Culture Scene appeared first on The Whistler Insider.

I had my first taste of mountain life and the variety Whistler offers when I moved here after university. With a specialization in tourism marketing, it was my job to know what was up and to share stories about the resort. Now, four decades later, and with a lot of life’s chapters behind me, the same passions that brought me to Whistler — connection to nature and community — are what keep me here.  

What are the best things to do in Whistler for seniors?

It depends on how active you want to be. This list includes a mix of low-impact outdoor activities, sightseeing, arts and culture, festivals and guided experiences, with options that don’t require skiing, mountain biking or strenuous hiking. There are plenty of things to do in Whistler for seniors who want to experience the mountains at their own pace. Here’s your guide to curating your Whistler mountain experience.

A Note on Getting Around Whistler and Accessibility

Many senior-friendly activities in Whistler are easy to reach without a car. Whistler Village is pedestrian-friendly, with places to sit and take in the view as you wander the main Village Stroll. I often suggest not bringing a vehicle to Whistler; you can get around on foot, bike, transit and taxi, and avoid the parking fees. However, if you are travelling with someone in a wheelchair, it’s good to take a read of the blog, Whistler by Wheelchair, as there might be specific factors for you to consider to plan for your trip to Whistler.

1. Experience Senior-Friendly Festivals and Events in Whistler

Whistler is about much more than mountain sports and outdoor play. Throughout the year, the resort hosts festivals and events that celebrate arts and culture by gathering like-minded folks together. With seating, indoor venues and events concentrated in Whistler Village, arts and culture are an easy addition to a lower-key day.

Two of my favourite festivals during fall include Whistler Writers Festival and Whistler Film Festival. Both events have outstanding reputations for the quality of programming, the uniqueness of the mountain setting, and the chance to be up close and personal with authors, filmmakers, and other attendees who appreciate the art of storytelling.  

2. Enjoy Live Music, Theatre and Outdoor Entertainment

Whistler’s arts and culture calendar offers a range of entertainment events throughout the year. Arts Whistler hosts concerts from chamber and classical to jazz and pop at the Maury Young Arts Centre. They also host and advertise arts-based workshops throughout the year, which are a great place for making connections.

Two summer entertainment highlights include Art on the Lake, an outdoor celebration of art at Lost Lake, and Flag Stop Festival with live original theatre, music and comedy at village locations and at The Point Artist Run Centre, located on the shores of Alta Lake.   

A summer highlight not to be missed is the free, outdoor Summer Concert Series and movie nights in the Village at Olympic Plaza, where the sunset and alpenglow backdrop transform The Great Lawn into one of the most memorable entertainment venues anywhere on earth.  

3. Take a Guided Wildlife or Sightseeing Tour

For a day that fuels your curiosity and your camera, start early. Local nature guides offer wildlife viewing tours where the highlight could include Whistler’s resident black bears. The guides can pick you up and drop you back at your accommodation, which makes this an easy outing with someone else doing the driving.

Guided tours of the valley (driving or walking options are available) introduce you to life beyond Whistler Village, encompassing the valley from Green Lake to Function Junction. Specialized tours include stops at one of Whistler’s local breweries or the distillery, where partaking of the local libations is most definitely on the agenda. 

4. Explore Whistler’s Museums and Art Galleries

Be in the know at one of Whistler’s museums. Discover unique mountain culture and the history of resort development and the Olympics at the Whistler Museum, where the collection includes archives, photographs and over 5,000 artifacts. June through September, the museum hosts the Valley of Dreams Walking Tour, which is a great way to explore Whistler Village.   

At the Audain Art Museum, the permanent collection features over 300 works showcasing the artistic heritage of British Columbia, including carving, painting, and photography. The Audain also hosts workshops and talks that feature topics from photography to cocktail making, another place to potentially connect with other art lovers. The gift shop also offers unique pieces that reflect the collection.  

Whistler has some lovely art galleries to explore, which you can learn more about in the blog, Insider Guide to Whistler’s Art Galleries. If you’re visiting in October, join a Whistler Wine Walk, where you get a glass of British Columbian wine at each location, ending at the Audain Art Museum.

5. Experience Indigenous Culture at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre

Connect with Whistler’s Indigenous cultural partners at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre (SLCC). Accessible from the Village on foot along the Cultural Connector Trail, the Centre is an integration of gallery, museum and gathering place. It is dedicated to sharing the living cultures, traditions and artwork of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish Nation) and Líl̓wat7úl (Lil’wat Nation).  

Tours at the Centre are offered by Indigenous Cultural Ambassadors who share stories across time, showcasing values, languages and current cultural practices alongside ancestral knowledge. Allow time to enjoy all the exhibits, including the gift shop, and I would recommend their café, where the Indigenous-inspired menu features tasty bannock tacos and salmon chowder.  

6. Ride the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola

Whether you visit Whistler in winter or summer, go up, way up. Sightseeing on the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola delivers the alpine experience without requiring a strenuous hike (unless you feel like one).

Accessed from either Blackcomb Mountain or Whistler Mountain, the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola is a “must-experience,” as the world’s longest unsupported span for a lift of its kind, offering a bird’s-eye view over the Fitzsimmons Valley.   

Summer visitors can venture even higher to the Peak of Whistler Mountain via a short (but steep) walk to the Peak Chairlift. Once at the Peak, summon your courage to traverse Cloudraker Skybridge and Raven’s Eye Cliff Walk.  

If flightseeing is on your bucket list, the resort offers tours of the Whistler Valley and the surrounding mountains via helicopter or floatplane.  

7. Explore Whistler’s Valley Trail on Foot, Bike or Mobility Scooter

Whistler is made for wheels, whether you’re using a mobility scooter, a wheelchair or adventuring on an e-bike.  One of the gems of Whistler is the Valley Trail, a car-free, paved trail network that connects Whistler Village with the valley’s neighbourhoods, lakes, and waypoints.

Whistler Village bike shops offer fleets of rental bikes including e-bikes. Choose between a short loop of the Valley Trail that circumnavigates the Whistler Golf Course or work your legs and lungs and ride from the Village to Creekside and back.   

Whether your ideal mountain adventure means spending the day outdoors or blending gentle activity with history, arts and culture, there are plenty of things to do in Whistler for seniors across a range of interests and activity levels. A great resource to use is the Whistler Mature Action Committee website for events and ways of making connections while you’re here.

And my tip for the best coffee and croissant in Whistler? I love Fix Cafe in Creekside and Mount Currie Coffee Co. when I’m in Whistler Village. Enjoy!

We know that this kind of work is an ongoing journey as we all learn how we can contribute to a more sustainable future. Join our Changemaker host, Mike Douglas, a member-at-large of Protect Our Winters Canada, pro skier, enviro nerd and Whistler local, as he shines a light on what’s happening in Whistler to move the dial.

In video #8, we touch base with Kirsty Smyth, Zero Waste Program Manager at AWARE Whistler. She chats with Mike about composting, local recycling and shifting our buying thought process.

What is AWARE and the Zero Waste Heroes Program?

AWARE is Whistler’s environmental charity.  Since 1989, we have led climate action, conservation and circular economy initiatives for the local community. Zero Waste Heroes is AWARE’s social enterprise, helping events to achieve their zero waste goals. Last year, over 23,000 people engaged with AWARE’s Zero Waste Heroes program in Whistler, at events, in the parks, and at the Farmers’ Market.

Events bring people together, but they can also generate significant amounts of waste and put pressure on our natural environment. Through the Zero Waste Heroes service, AWARE helps visitors and residents enjoy the events that make Whistler special, while encouraging everyone to leave as little behind as possible. We work with event organizers to provide waste reduction and diversion support, including event planning, on-site waste sorting, and post-event reporting and analysis. 

Zero Waste Heroes is a social enterprise, so when events use us, the money generated goes back into environmental initiatives in Whistler, like our youth engagement programs and our local advocacy work. We have leading waste diversion rates, and our team is highly trained to provide guidance and education to businesses and guests.

Do events have a big waste footprint?

Yes, but we can work with them before, during and after their event to reduce it. Last year, we helped GranFondo and Arc’teryx Academy become Zero Waste Events, which means that over 90% of their waste was diverted from landfill.

We work on waste prevention first by influencing what can and cannot come into the event area. Reusables are our go-to, but if that’s not possible, we can help source compostable options. That way, we have more control over the waste diversion outcomes. 

We also gather lots of data from each event so that we can report back to organizers on what is going well and where there is room for improvement. This means that many of the events that we work with reduce their waste footprint year over year.

How do you get people to trash-talk with you?

It’s mostly easy! People want to do the right thing, but recycling can be confusing. We guide people to the right place when we’re at an event, but we’re also talking to them about better choices for the future.

A lot of people ask us, “Doesn’t it all end up in the same place?” and the answer is, not here! British Columbia has amazing recycling systems; we just need to use them. For example, 99% of the plastics sent to Recycle BC in 2025 went to manufacturers that give recycled materials another life.

Why is composting so important?

One of our top goals is to keep compostables and food waste out of the landfill, because it gets trapped and causes methane, which is significantly more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide. But if food waste is placed in the organics stream, it can be repurposed locally as soil, adding to a circular economy.

Whistler’s landfill waste is transported to Cache Creek (about 450 kilometres, routed via Vancouver), and so if organic waste is separated and composted within our community, emissions associated with hauling are also reduced. Last year, 39% of Whistler’s landfill waste could have been composted; so we’ve got some work to do!

What can people do?

If Whistler is going to hit its Zero Waste target by 2030, we need an informed and engaged public. We want people to think about the end of its life at the start. If you pick up something and know it will end up in a landfill, ideally, you reconsider your decision and pick something that can be reused or composted. 

If you are not sure whether an item can be recycled, or which stream it belongs in, Recycle BC’s Waste Wizard is an excellent resource to help you understand what goes where. You can also come and say hello to one of our Zero Waste Heroes when you see us out and about in the community – we are always happy to help!

How does the Zero Waste Heroes program contribute to the Big Moves Strategy?

Whistler’s Big Move 6 focuses on closing the loop and shifting towards low-carbon consumption. Through the Zero Waste Heroes program, AWARE helps residents, visitors, event organizers and vendors make better choices about waste and resource use. We help identify simple opportunities to reduce waste, improve diversion and minimize the environmental footprint of events in our community.
