Chart-topping electronic music star John Summit is set to bring his high-energy, mountain-culture fusion event to one of the world's premier ski destinations. The Experts Only Ski Weekend will make its Canadian debut in Whistler, B.C., on March 14 and 15, 2026, promising a vibrant blend of après-ski beats and alpine atmosphere.
From Major Venues to Mountain Peaks
John Summit is no stranger to massive crowds, having performed at iconic venues like New York City's Madison Square Garden and the Coachella Sahara Stage. His label, Experts Only, has spawned a festival that drew 50,000 people to Randall's Island in New York last September. He has successfully transplanted the concept to the slopes with previous ski weekenders in U.S. resort towns like Vail and Tahoe. Now, he's turning his sights north.
With over 1.5 billion global streams for hits like "Where You Are" and "Go Back," Summit's sound is a guaranteed draw. He describes the event as creating "a cultural moment where ski towns meet the energetic community of dance music," aiming to electrify Whistler Village after the lifts close.
