Most will rave about the skiing, but my rave is about visiting Whistler in the summer.  Several times I had to pick my jaw up from the floor of the gondola.  

The Mountain Bike Park is built for full suspension bikes.  You see guys (and some gals)…More »

Don't we all have dreams where we imagine we can fly?  Well, if you're not afraid of heights then you should give this a try.  The funny part is I'm very safety conscious, but once I knew I was in good hands and they have all the safety controls in…More »

My personal moment of glory at Whistler was flying down the ziplines.  But, by far our family's highlight was the ATV tour.  We chose the Alpine Sunrise tour which left at a very early 8:20a, but it was worth rising early.  They have different types…More »
