Beloved Whistler Restaurant Won't Open This Ski Season

Zog’s, a beloved restaurant in Whistler, British Columbia, won’t open this coming ski season.

The eatery, which has served skiers for almost three decades, sold classic Canadian ski town fare, like hot dogs, poutine, and burgers, at reasonable prices. It was a short walk away from the base of the Excalibur Gondola, the Whistler Village Gondola, and the Fitzsimmons Express, three lifts where skiers often start their days at Whistler Blackcomb.

In a statement shared with Pique, Zog’s owner, Diana Chan, said, “We received unexpected notice that our lease will not be renewed. This decision was beyond our control, and despite our efforts, we were unable to secure a new lease heading into this winter.”

“We are profoundly grateful for the loyalty, friendship, and support we have received over the years. We’re proud of the memories we’ve made together—bridging seasons and generations—and we will carry them with us always. It has been our absolute privilege to be part of this community,” Chan added.
