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.

Stawamus Chief Park

Reviewed By 304stephiec - London, Canada

I did The Chief! What a challenging feat of a climb. Only 5km, by heart pumping all the way straight up 2149 feet. Stunning views of Howe Lake, Garibaldi peaks and Squamish. Reviews talk of crowds, but for a time, I was alone with The big Chief. This is one of the largest granite monoliths in the world. Take water, lunch or protein and enough daylight to take your time. Not a walk in the park! A massage the following day is highly advisable unless you are in tip top shape. I'm in great shape and still was glad to have booked a massage as I was a wee tender from the ascension ????

I can do blacks, but I wanted to reach the next level and improve my mogul handling technique. I was blown away in the first day, it is much more than just mogul skiing, in order to ski well moguls you need to also improve your ski in general (quick turns, body position, etc) and I got exactly this, good tips that can be applied in general skiing too which I think improved my ski much more. The coaches are great, I did 2 days in a row with John and Clay and I liked the different perspectives and tips from them. If you're interested in air/jumps/park they are working on that with you too, I didn't do to much jumping myself, but they have top of the line coaches in jumps too. I think the differentiating factor of this training is the quality of the coaches, they are ex and current professional ski athletes which changes the gears completely compared with a normal ski lesson from the resort. One thing to keep in mind, in order to get the benefits from the training you need to be advanced or expert skier, level 5 or 6 according to Whistler Blackcomb ski ability levels, otherwise you'll struggle and it will not be that fun in my opinion.

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.

Just love watching Grinder and Coola on webcam. A great way to see them in their own environment. We are from Australia and visit Vancouver when we can. Have been watching the antics of these 2 amazing bears for many years. Thank you Grouse Mountain for giving us the opportunity to see Grinder and Coola on the webcams. Sleep well boys and we will look in on you every day. Keith and Karen

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

Only 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver, allow 2 - 3 hours for your visit to Vancouver's iconic Capilano Suspension Bridge, hanging 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River. The park offers more than just the bridge. Its surrounding 27 acres celebrate nature, history and culture in unique and thrilling ways. No more so than with the newest attraction, CLIFFWALK. Cliffwalk hangs for 213m (700ft) and reaches 91m (300ft) high, hugging the granite cliffside and offering a panoramic view of the thriving rainforest and canyon far below. On Treetops Adventure venture from one magnificent old growth Douglas-fir to another on a series of seven elevated suspension bridges, reaching as high as 110 feet (33m), for a squirrel's eye view of the forest. Guides, signage and interactive exhibits throughout the park help you in your understanding of rainforest ecosystems and their sustainability.
