What an awesome experience! I highly recommend this for anyone. My husband, son and I totally enjoyed this tour. Our pilot Jeff was great and gave us an epic ride with history of the glaciers, geography of our location and an overall excellent adventure. I liked seeing the skiers and the snow mobiles on the ski runs beneath us. Will do again sometime in the future.

Fishing frozen lakes for rainbow trout, bull trout, cutthroat trout, brook trout. Ice huts and heaters are brought to help with the chill depending on conditions, Fishing through an 8" hole using bait and lures, jigging. We recommend you to dress for subzero temperatures Ever pull a 10-pound fish through an 8-inch hole in the ice? This is the ultimate in winter angling. Venture out onto a frozen lake and fish for rainbow, cutthroat, bull and brook trout, kick it old school and brave the weather sitting on a bucket. It's entirely up to you but dress for sub-freezing temperatures anyhow. Great times for all ages.

I did this tour myself last year. This time my sister went alone and felt so comfortable with the group and guide. Must do the lift in Whistler. Saw bobsledding. Guide Jennifer said to look for the Beckhams who were skiing there. Also, Very informative and many stops along the way. Highly recommend than other tours for the vehicle, stops, and personal friendly guide.
