Description:
WHISTLER VILLAGE. Ski Magazine has dubbed Whistler-Blackcomb the best ski resort in the world, thanks in large part to an average annual snowfall of 30 feet and glacier skiing that often lasts into August.

The longest runs are seven miles, and there are several snowboarding parks and pipes. Each mountain has a number of restaurants and gift shops as well. Tots six and under ski free. |

Description:
WHISTLER VILLAGE. Much preferable for those of us with a little acrophobia, Treetrek is the sister experience to Ziptrek. Instead of whizzing along zipline cables through the forest, you walk along boardwalks and suspension bridges. You're up just as high (in the treetops, literally – 80-200 feet above the ground), and there's still that element of fear, but at least your feet are on something solid! Tours last about 1.5 hours, and even if it's snowing or raining, the operators have boots and rain gear to keep you comfortable. Ages 5 and up; babies carried in front packs are permitted. Hours may vary slightly seasonally. Reservations are recommended but not essential. |

Description:
WHISTLER VILLAGE. One of Whistler's most popular attractions, Ziptrek is a series of ziplines set up across 11 hectares (33 acres) of land between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. There are two different tours that utilize ten ziplines ranging from 60-600 meters (200-2000 feet) in length, and 24-60 meters (80-200 feet) above ground; each tour lasts about 2.5 hours. Heated platforms between the ziplines ensure your comfort even on shivery days, and tours run 365 days a year, regardless of the weather. The ticketing center and shuttle pick up is at Essentially Blackcomb in Carleton Lodge. Reservations are recommended but not essential. |
