Top 10
There’s more than your eyes can actually take in at the top of Whistler or Blackcomb. But why choose? With the Peak 2 Peak gondola, you can see it all. Eye candy for real eyes.
It’s bigger and better than ever and it’s right here! So are you! Grab a ticket and ride some of the best, most wicked trails ever cut down the side of a mountain. Something suitable for all skill levels and almost all ages.
The hills are alive, with the sound of music. At least they will be if you sing. Take your pick : the High Note Trail on Whistler or the Overlord on Blackcomb. Either one will have you singing… if you’ve got the breath. Of course, there are a lot more trails too; you can hum on them.
Whistler’s free all-purpose getaway. Walk, run, bike, skate or push your baby the length of the valley along Whistler’s foremost attraction. Don’t forget to look up at the great scenery.
There are five lakes scattered the length of Whistler, more if you want to hike a bit. Not a speck of chlorine and water so clear you might wish you’d have worn your bathing suit, which you should, unless you don’t want to.
Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Robert Trent Jones Jr., designed Whistler’s three championship golf courses. Star designers or sadists? You decide. Some of the best golf in Canada is played here; some of the worst too. Both fun.
Next to Whistler Olympic Plaza, near Marketplace. Little kids love it; bigger kids like pushing the little kids around. Parents mostly wonder who’s going to get exhausted first.
So many people have, we’ve had to replace them. They’re on the south side of Whistler Olympic Plaza; the Paralympic Agitos are on the other side. You have a camera, what are you waiting for?
Summertime’s festival of mountain biking madness sweeps over Whistler like a two-wheeled tsunami, August 9-18. If mountain bikers ruled the world, this is what life would be like everyday.
It’s summer. Slow down. Have a nosh… and something refreshing to drink. Watch people, feel the sun, feel glad to be alive. Remember, après is guilt-free.
