Warm & Wet: Whistler Gaper Day 2015
Posted by: Feet Banks
The longest ski season in North America came to a close yesterday and Whistler sent it off in style with Gaper Day, an annual celebration of snow, sun and the end of another winter.
The costumes were out and plenty of Gapers ripped those chunky “off-Piste” lines but having Gaper Day on Whistler Mountain this year meant the natural pools were in perfect shape for one of the greatest pond skim parties in recent memory.
With mid-summer temperatures keeping everyone hot and happy, Gaper Day 2015 will go down as one of the best ever. Local Gaper “Skier Dave” even honoured to the No-Downloading aesthetic and skied all the way to the GLC patio for the Gaper Day win. In true Gaper fasion he chugged a victory beer and proclaimed, “We’re all winners on Gaper Day.”
Summer skiing on Blackcomb starts in two weeks, June 20-July 26, 2015.
