40 Years of Speed, Friendship & Skiing History
First run in 1985, the Peak to Valley Race has become a rite of passage for Whistler skiers. The 40th anniversary edition honours four decades of racers who’ve pointed their skis toward Creekside and gone for it—some once, some nearly every year.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a longtime participant, 2026 promises to be one for the books.
