World Ski & Snowboard Festival
30 year anniversary

April 6 – 12, 2026 | Whistler, BC

Born out of a love for mountain culture, the World Ski & Snowboard Festival (WSSF) returns in 2026 to celebrate 30 years of iconic moments in Whistler. Since 1996, WSSF has marked the arrival of spring as the ultimate après of the winter season, bringing together snow sports, music, art, film, and community in one unforgettable week.

Over three decades, the festival has grown alongside generations of skiers, snowboarders, filmmakers, musicians, and creatives. It is where competitions turn into legends, film premieres launch careers, and late nights become stories told for years. WSSF continues to showcase Whistler as a global mecca for mountain culture while honouring the community that built it.

Thank you to everyone who came out and shared in this year’s festival. Your energy, passion, and support are what bring WSSF to life and make every moment on and off the mountain unforgettable. From the athletes pushing progression, to the artists and filmmakers sharing their vision, to the visitors who celebrated with us, your contributions are deeply appreciated and essential to the spirit of the event.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our sponsors and partners for their continued support and commitment. Your belief in the festival makes it possible for us to grow, innovate, and continue celebrating mountain culture.
