Events & Education We're excited to announce our TNP Book Club's first book of the year: The Practice: Shipping Creative Work, written by best-selling author Seth Godin.
"The Practice explores creativity, not as a rare gift given to a select few but as a skill anyone can acquire with focused effort and consistency." Join us and a copy of The Practice for a special price of just $10!
Depending on interest, we will help facilitate an informal post-reading event for all TNP members to socialize and discuss the concepts covered in our book.
 For non-skiers purchasing our 'Everything but the lift ticket' package, we have a (free and limited-capacity) snowshoe option sponsored by Urban Impact! This includes transportation from Whistler Village to Whistler Olympic Park and back, lunch and snowshoeing equipment. No experience necessary! Please email Kiomi if you are interested in participating.
