Description:
WHISTLER VILLAGE.

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. What does a mountain ski resort do during the warmer months? Well, in Whistler, they turn the place into a mountain bike park. Granted, the entire ski area is not given over to mountain biking, but a good chunk of it is, with more than 200 km (124 miles) of trails that are easy to get to, thanks to those same lifts that carry skiers up the mountain. Ranked the best mountain bike park in the world by a number of international publications. Exact opening and closing dates vary slightly from year to year; from mid-June through August hours are extended to take advantage of available daylight. Lessons, tours and rental bikes and equipment are available. |

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. |

The ticketing center and shuttle pick up is at Essentially Blackcomb in Carleton Lodge. Reservations are recommended but not essential. |
