COLOUR THE SLOPES 3.0 SUMMIT was a BLAST!

Colour the Slopes 3.0 Summit in Whistler, BC, Canada was a blast!

For the third time, we welcomeda  community of Black, Indigenous and Racialized people to connect over the love of winter activities and creating lasting friendships.

We spent March 13-16 on the land of the Squamish and Lil’wat First Nations. We got blessed with incredible March weather at Whistler Blackcomb resort – welcomed by a beautiful blue-bird day and experiencing a mild snowstorm on the second day. Our usual highlights, apart from time on the mountain, were guest speakers and gala night.

We are thankful to our incredible speakers that found time in their busy schedules to share their experiences with community – Sandy Ward, Nafeesa Andrabi, Evelynn Escobar, Sofia Jaramillo.

Gala night was lit up by DJ Femi and Queen Batty Banks!

The Summit was only possible with the support of our community investors.

We extended full heart gratitude to our financial investors:  

Arcteryx,  The North Face,  Government of British Columbia,  RedBull

Nordica Skis, Parks Canada, Tourism Whistler, Peak Performance

We were able to make the event more equitable, provide scholarships, and support people newer to winter sports thanks to Whistler Blackcomb Resort

We were also able to extend the impact of this event through giveaways of amazing gear prizes thanks to investments from: Nordica Skis, G3 Gear, Rossignol
