Sushi Village
EPIC FOOD. EPIC PARTIES. EPIC HISTORY.
Three Vancouver restaurant workers developed a friendship while working together. On a whim, they decided to trek up to Whistler in the winter of 1984 to check out the skiing that they were hearing so much about.
Once they ventured up the mountain, they were hooked! The friends essentially never left Whistler after that first trip. One year later, in December of 1985, Sushi Village opened and the dream that these three friends had – to open a world-class sushi restaurant in what would become one of the most popular ski resorts in the world – came to fruition.
But the dream behind the dream was to ski every day!
