Whistler Mountain Bike Park

Whistler Mountain Bike Park has something for every level of rider. Gentle, banked cruisers through the Coastal forest. Tight and twisty single track - perfect for intermediate riders. For the armour clad, full face wearing, 50lb. bike group there are steep rock faces, gnarly, root strewn lines, drop offs of all descriptions and more.

Excellent organisation of the lifts, very smooth operation. Brilliant variety of graded trails which you can work your way through. Good for experienced cyclists, but challenging for the absolute beginner. Worth hiring protective gear if you haven't taken yours. Check when the season starts and finishes before you go. Although it looked busy from the bottom, once on the hill you meet very few people. Worth checking out the various bike hire places for the best deals and booking in advance. Plenty of good bars and restaurants nearby too.

What a fantastic experience to go down the Whistler Sliding Olympic track, the fastest in the world. In a few second you will reach 125km/h on board of a competition bobsleigh driven by a Pro. I guarantee you will feel the G force. Thank you Kevin for that pure moment of adrenaline. For people who like to experience something new go for it. How many time in your life will you have the oppoturnity to do bodsleigh? For the one who things, it is too expensive and to short, I will say it is less expensive and as fun as sky diving or bungy jumping. Organisation is very good and staff is awsome listen to their briefing and understand the safety rules to enjoy the ride fully. Thank you for the ride guys, I will be back for the Skeleton.

We go to the apple rest and pumpkin patch, so fun, riding the tracker to pick a pumpkin or apples. So much for the kids to do from petting and feeding animals to climbing and sliding. Lunch in the cafe is always good, with homemade apple juice, pies soups and more. They also have a market and sell their produce.

Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster

Reviewed By AmandaDucey - Kitchener, Canada

I'm not fond of coasters, but this was awesome. My husband and I visited as part of a weekend getaway. Staff were friendly, and one even took a picture of us before the ride started. The ride takes you up the mountain, and upon reaching the top you send yourself off. You can control how fast or slow you go, which put me at ease...by the end I was going full speed and enjoyed every moment. The view from the coaster was amazing. We're planning to return every season that its open for different views.
