From February 5 to the 12, Whistler will be hosting the WinterPRIDE 2012 Gay Lesbian Ski Week, providing same sex couples on train trips across Canada a cozy retreat from every day life. 

Whistler, located in British Columbia, proudly offers their resort as a popular destination for gay and lesbian partners in both winter and summer. The festival has been celebrated for 19 years, but this year will be its 20th Anniversary and marks the first time the event is officially recognized and given civic status by the municipality government.

In addition to skiing down the snowy slopes, people on Canadian train vacations can enjoy a variety of entertainment. For those more in tune with music, there are several talented DJs to entertain audiences. For others who enjoy a shot of humor with their whiskey, there are an array of comedians that will lighten up the evening with laughter and humorous stories.

Nikita Lake Lodge is a blessing after a long evening of partying and spending time with friends, with its 77-suites and luxury style accommodations. The lodge not only offers rest for the weary, but also provides a spa and cuisine, combining revitalizing services along with a chance to indulge in delicious food, all in one convenient location.
