This experience definitely the tops when it comes to a rush of adrenalin in Whistler for the non-skier, but it is not to be missed. And that I did at the Whistler Sliding Centre. BobsleddingĪs a big lover of everything Olympic, especially that of the Winter Games, my number one priority in Whistler was to give bobsledding a try. This is an adrenaline-filled activity you’ll want to add to your bucket list. Now all this might sound like a big challenge, but I have a great fear of heights and felt completely comfortable and safe throughout this entire experience. From there we ziplined via four lines back down to base camp…įrom zipline to zipline we reached speeds upwards of 100km/h and soared 180 metres above ground. After a short bus ride, some safety information and equipment testing, we donned our helmets and went up Rainbow Mountain in 4X4s to get to our start point. I joined a group from Superfly Ziplines for this amazing activity. But dress for the weather and it will be completely worth it. But ziplining in the winter has it’s own beauty: there’s nothing more gorgeous than flying through mountain valleys over the snow capped forest with the sun in your face. Maybe you see yourself doing this in shorts and a t-shirt during the warm, summer months. Located in the Base 2 Zone on Blackcomb Mountain, the Coca-Cola Tubing Park will have you laughing all the way up on the magic carpet and all the way down as you speed, spin, bounce and bump down the runs. With multiple runs to try from slower to pretty fast, everyone will enjoy the exhilaration of tubing.įor many, the idea of flying through the air, the very cold air, is not something that they would consider.

If you really want to treat yourself to extraordinary food and drink with a view, a meal at Christine’s on Blackcomb is a must. Just over 4 kilometres long, the Peak 2 Peak Gondola ride from Whistler to Blackcomb (or vice versa) takes about 10 minutes, which gives you plenty of time to snap many pictures and soak it all in. From glass bottom gondolas to the 360 ° views of the blue-sky meeting the snow capped mountains and forests, these breathtaking views are some of the most gorgeous I’ve seen in this part of Canada.Ī stop on either side offers more views plus delicious eateries for all budgets. Recently, I had the chance to experience what a destination like Whistler, BC, has to offer an extreme non-skier like me. With an open mind and looking for a challenge, I was ready to take on Whistler, from the picturesque to the extreme rush of adrenalin…įour Snow Adventures In Whistler For the Non-Skier 1. Along with a good dose of après ski, of course. I don’t ski and really have no interest in trying it at this point. But winter, I love.
