BACK to NEWS RELEASES WHISTLER, BC , 19 November 2007 - Throughout the outdoor world, the TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival has become synonymous with Whistler. "The biggest snow-sports party on the planet", said the latest issue of Outside magazine, citing supersized Whistler Blackcomb as the epitome of big-mountain skiing, and a must-visit destination. The producers of the TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival want to ensure that the global hype about the Festival throws a glow that lights up the entire community. "Even as we aspire for the Festival to get better and better each year, we recognise that the only way to do that is to keep it real, to keep it truly connected to the community and the people of Whistler. That symbiosis is vital to the success of the Festival... It belongs to the community, and it's important that it be a true reflection of the people and core culture of Whistler," says Festival Managing Director Sue Eckersley. "Whistler sets the bar for the resort and snowsports world because of the people here. There's no way the Festival could have the impact it does without the support of the entire community." To continue to strengthen that community network, the Festival organizers plan to host a Community Input Session on November, from 10 am to 5pm at the TELUS Whistler Conference Centre - in the Garibaldi Rooms. The focus of the Session will be the Festival's Communications & Marketing Strategy and the 2008 Events Program. Refreshments will be provided, including all the Monster Energy drinks a person can consume (up to the recommended daily limits.) The purpose of the Community Input Session is to provide a feedback loop for community members, and to give the Festival organizers a chance to provide insight into the Festival's ambition to continue to make Whistler the place to be in April. Those unable to attend are welcome to submit any input for the 2008 TWSSF by emailing info@watermarkinc.ca , with "2008 TWSSF Input" in the subject line. The 2008 TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival will take place April 11-20. The TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival is produced by Watermark Communications, a Whistler sports & entertainment marketing company.
