Thanksgiving Weekend
If you ask any local what their favourite thing about
Thanksgiving in Whistler is (apart from Thanksgiving dinner) it's
the annual Turkey Sale! Unfortunately there are no turkeys
for sale, but this is THE weekend of the year to buy all your ski,
snowboard, gear and winter clothing at greatly discounted
prices.
This year, Canadian Thanksgiving falls on Monday October
10th. The Turkey Sale is on all weekend from October
7th to the 10th. The sale takes place at the Blackcomb Day
Lodge, just at the base of Blackcomb Mountain in the Upper
Village. This annual sale is legendary. You can
shop for top name brands in ski and snowboard equipment with huge
pre season savings! You will find sales throughout Whistler
Village as all the stores and restaurant like to participate in the
fun of Turkey Sale weekend.
Happening at the same time, will be the annual Whistler
Mountain Ski and Snowboard Swap. This is also
located outside the Blackcomb Day lodge in the tent. The SWAP has a
proven reputation for quality pre-owned equipment for both kids and
adults. There is a huge selection and you will find
unbeatable prices. This is also a great place to sell your
used skis, snowboard and boots.
Thanksgiving weekend is the also the last Whistler Farmers
Market of the season. The market is held on Sunday
from 11am to 4pm in the Upper Village outside the Fairmont Chateau
Whistler. This is the place to shop for your Thanksgiving
Dinner. There will be local produce from the Pemberton Valley
including pumpkins, carrots, squash and Pemberton Potatoes.
The market also features fresh baked goods including delicious
pumpkin pies. The Whistler Farmers Market also features
artisans, crafts, organic and local produce, honey, pottery,
jewellery and more!
Once you have shopped until you have dropped you may still
have some energy for a Whistler activity. This is
the last weekend that the Whistler Mountain Bike Park is open, so
head on up and experience one of the best mountain bike parks in
the World! This is also the last weekend that the golf
courses will be open. Have a great game of golf at The
Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Course, Nicklaus North or the
Whistler Golf Club, all of which are open over the Thanksgiving
Weekend.
