BLEND IN WITH THE LOCALS… WEAR A MASK
The must-have fashion accessory of the year — the face mask — is a must-wear in public areas when visiting Whistler. We’re uniquely blessed to be able to enjoy the mountains this season, and none of us want to lose that privilege, so we are all wearing our masks to be able to keep our skis and boards on the snow.
You’ll need a mask in the lift lines and on gondolas, the chairlifts, when you eat out at any of our incredible restaurants and while you’re browsing and shopping along the beautifully lit Village Stroll. Look out for directional signage, physical distancing markers, and sanitizing stations at each place you visit. Along with your mask, please also pack your patience; there might be the odd time you need to wait a bit longer than usual, but remember, we’re all navigating this “new normal” together.
If you are looking to add a uniquely Whistler mask to your collection, some of our favourites include the Emily
Carr print at the Audain Art Museum, the Indigenous artists’ prints at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre, and the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation masks sold at the Can-Ski locations, featuring iconic Whistler images by renowned local photographer David McColm.
We wear our masks to protect the vulnerable, as a sign of kindness and respect, and we’re sure you’ll do the same. We look forward to seeing your “smiling eyes” above your masks!
