For a few special weeks in May, the wonderful worlds of summer and winter collide, creating a unique experience for mountain and wilderness lovers alike – the option to ski or snowboard, PLUS bike, hike, golf, and SUP. On one of these very special Whistler weekends lies GOFest2016; four days of action-packed outdoor activities, indoor art experiences, and live concerts in the Village Square.

Among the adventure options was the GOFest2016 Digital Meet-up – a chance for Social Media savvy strangers to connect and snap their hearts away on a guided tour of lost lake’s walking and biking trails. The result – a whole lot of happy faces, new friendships and fresh ’grams.

Here’s a peek into our favourite snapshots shared on social media from the entire GOFest2016 shebang.

Nikkey got her start in Whistler as an outdoor guide and the habit of talking about the place has clearly stuck. Whistler’s general laid-back lifestyle and immediate access to fun is what’s kept her around. When not hanging out on the Whistler Insider team Nikkey works as a freelance creative for outdoor and wellness brands. Nikkey’s favourite Whistler animal is the marmot- she just wants to pinch those fluffy cheeks! (but never would because she respects wildlife and really likes having her fingers attached to her hands.)
