This made my day - lucky i didnt come to Whistler to find love.. hahahah The Whistler Girls’ Guide to Whistler Guys The Real McCoy With a girl to guy ratio of 1:5 finding a guy in Whistler should not be a problem. However, sit in on any girls night and the complaints are loud enough to deter any girl from pursuing her “Whistler Boyfriend” dreams. Shocking, I know. So why when there are so many young hot boys from all over the world, is it so damn hard to find a boy in Whis? The Key word here ladies is BOY. Welcome to Whistler, also known as Never Never Land. We get as many Lost Boys here as we do days of rain. Very few members of the opposite sex move to Whistler to find the girl of their dreams, and live happily ever after. Please, keep that in mind before you hop on a plane from Australia, England, or Ontario, prepared to wow all the Whistler guys into submission with your amazing style, great hair, and “really good at dating a pro” ways. I mean how could they not want you? They must be getting sick of all the hardcore snowboard girls by now right? Without further adieu, allow me to introduce our first Whistler Guy: The Peter Pan – Coming on 30 this guy is a Whistler staple. He knows everyone, and everyone knows him, they’re just not really sure how, or why. Most likely a washed up pro snowboarder/skier turned product rep, these guys still hang out with actual pros who are usually about 18. Never one to settle down, this guy keeps getting older, while the girls he dates stay the same age. My advice? If you catch one, run before that’s not all you’ve caught. The Pro – These guys are good at everything, getting girls being no exception. With the confidence that comes with way too many friends, too much money, and a plane ticket out of here next week, these guys will sweep you off your feet and onto your back before you can tell them you’re “not usually like this” Usually found in packs of 5-10 dudes, all decked out in Monster/Red Bull gear, you know you’ve got one when he gets more text messages at 2 am than anyone you know, and insists they’re from his sponsors. Have as much fun with this one as you like, just remember he probably has a girl like you at the base of every mountain. The Semi Pro – One of the more annoying types of all Whistler guys, these boys are hardcore shredders. So dedicated to the idea of being the next big name, these guys shred all day, and talk about shredding all night. Often found in the Black Park, making home videos to send to sponsors, you know you need to upgrade to the real deal when you find out he lives with 13 dudes so he can afford a ski pass and he’s turning 25. The Real McCoy – This one may be a born and bred Whistler local, or his family may have had a place up here since Whistler was called London Mountain, either way he is a true outdoorsman. He back country skis in the winter, rock climbs in the spring, and hikes in the summer. As a great adventurer and ultimate go getter, this guy is a keeper for the right lady. Just remember to throw out your heels and invest in a pair of hiking boots. The Aussie Mate – You’ll hear this one before you spot him. Usually drunk and belligerent, these boys are here for the Partay. Dressed in the worst combination of next years Burton and Volcom outerwear, this charmer has chin length blonde hair that may never have been washed. Add a crocheted bandana and some neon and what’s not to love? That is until you realize he lives in Staff Housing and has no money. In my personal opinion…you are not “all roight mate” The Bar Boy – This one shouldn’t even need explaining. He may be a bouncer/bartender/ or manager at your favorite club, or it just may seem like he is because he’s always there. You have him on speed dial and for good reason too… no line/no cover is a hot commodity in this town. Obviously good looking, if maybe a tad too well groomed these guys wheel and deal every pretty girl the same. Keep them close until the clock strikes 2, then vanish before you or they turn into a pumpkin. DFMO’s are way more awkward with the lights on.
