Mush! Dogsleding is a truly unique experience that whistler has to offer.  You get to experience the beautiful winter backcountry while being pulled along by loveable Alaskan Racing Huskies, super fun. These dogs really know how to move and they love every moment.  For the adventurous there is also the option to guide your own team – Great for kids and often there is lots of puppies around. 

This is a true Whistler must – its just as beautiful in winter. Nestled in the valley between Whistler & Blackcomb a full ecological interpretive adventure awaits you.  With 10 ziplines spanning over 2.4 Kms and speeds of up to 80kms an hour reached you won’t forget the adrenalin or the scenery.

Imagine a beautiful moonlit evening with a majestically horse drawn sleigh with a big blanket and hot chocolate.  Sleigh rides in whistler will be just that, these tours are often combined with a fondue evening for a complete magical evening. There are also tours run during the day as well a favorite with the kids!

Just out of town Powder mountain runs a snowcat operation to take skiers and boarders to some of the best powder around, all the vertical and untracked powder you handle with beautiful surrounding to match.

Heli Skiing the ultimate way in getting to some of the best skiable terrain around. The Helicopter ride alone is enough to get your adrenalin pumping, scooting in around mountain with birds eye view, your helicopter then set’s you down with your experience guide for the day. Then its untracked runs to yours heat content. Heli skiing and boarding is very accessible to all skiers you just need to be a minimum of an intermediate skier, but don’t think the advance skier get’s left out there is a multitude of terrain!

Tours usually come with a minimum hot chocolate and a snack, there are dinner tours also – just ask us here at Mountain Advdentures.

Cross country skiing is a great alternative to downhill skiing, there is very well developed and maintained trail network in whistler set in the absolutely gorgeous Lost Lake area. Trails wind up and in the Lost Lake area taking you past many gorgeous view points, but my favorite is the loop that circles around the frozen “Lost Lake”. There is a warming hut here, you can have lunch or a nice break to warm up. The Whistler cross country area is very unique because it adds two golf courses into its trail network. The Fairmont golf course adds a mix of intermediate to advance trails set on some quite hilly terrain. The Nicholas North golf course located on the shore of Green Lake is perfect for beginners with its long flat wide trails.  All trails are groomed and track set every night. Great for families and nature lovers (“I have seen Lynx, bobcat’s & Coyote’s while out skiing”- Sonia Anderson Owner of Mountain Adventures). Both skate and classic styles available!
