WHISTLER BOBSLEIGH

Get set for the ride of your life as a professional pilot steers you down the actual track from the 2010 Winter Olympics. By the time you zoom around Thunderbird Corner (the quickest part of the course) you’ll be feeling the g-force as you hit over 125km/h. Winter thrills don’t come much faster than this.

THE ULTIMATE SKI DAY

whistler tasting tour

View through the streets of Whistler village on a sunny day with snow covering the ground

With over 170 restaurants, Whistler has your post-piste hunger pangs covered. But if you’re eager to really take a bite out of the resort, try a tasting tour. You’ll join a local expert for a multi-course trip around town, which could see you tucking into everything from sushi to steaks in one evening. It’s the ultimate meal ticket for foodies.

FIRE & ICE SHOW

To skiers in red jackets leaping through a ring of fire with a shower of sparks and smoke behind them

A member of a local First Nation tribe kicks off the ski show with a traditional hoop dance – picture hula hooping, but turned up to 11. Then it’s on to the skiers who wow the crowds as they spin and flip through a burning ring of fire to the beats of a live DJ. Wrap up warm and see the whole thing for free on Sunday evenings at the Skier’s Plaza in Whistler Village.

Whistler and Blackcomb mountains in the distance with ski runs snaking their way through the trees

Have you even skied Whistler if you haven’t done the Peak to Creek? This top-to-bottom descent from the summit of Whistler Mountain tots up 1,530m of vertical drop over 11 cruisy kilometres, making it the longest blue run in North America. There’s a bar right at the bottom too, so you’ve got somewhere handy for that celebration drink when you’re done.

FLY WITH AIR CANADA

There’s nothing like the feeling of using your own gear on the slopes, so fly with Air Canada from London Heathrow and you’ll get your ski carriage included for free.

Whistler takes this aerial activity to the next level, with multi-line courses strung between wooden platforms high above the ground. Feel the wind on your face as you zoom past snow-dusted treetops reaching speeds up to 100km/h. And even strap on a headtorch to whizz through the darkness on a night-time zip trip.

The Scandavine spa with steam rising from the hot springs and sunlight shining through the trees

There are spas and then there’s the Scandinave Spa. The whole place is a talking-free zone, so you can really switch off and unwind. Imagine yourself sitting in the sauna watching fresh flakes settle outside, or soaking in an outdoor hot spring as steam rises among the powder-kissed pine trees all around. Now that’s back-to-nature relaxation.

For an only-in-Whistler experience that’s great for little ones, it has to be Vallea Lumina. Once the sun sets, this circular tree-lined trail is transformed into a magical saunter that mixes storytelling with spellbinding light shows. You’ll follow cryptic clues, hear local legends and see sights that’ll widen eyes whatever your age.

Untouched powder with backdrops fit for this season’s latest ski flick – that’s the Whistler heli-ski experience. And you don’t need to be pro either. With access to a zone 50 times the size of the ski area, there’s terrain for beginner off-pisters as well as experts – and of course, local guides to make sure everyone has the best day ever.
