Whistler, British Columbia, is a short trip from Vancouver by road or air. The stunning landscape, pedestrian-only Village and genuine, down-to-earth mountain culture make Whistler an unforgettable year-round destination. Winters provide reliable snow for skiing, snowboarding and Nordic sports while golf, mountain biking and hiking fill the warmer months. Festivals, spas, restaurants and bars combine with endless outdoor activities to make Whistler the ultimate place to escape and unwind.

My 2 teenage boys thoroughly enjoyed carving their inukshuk soapstone souvenirs with John as an alternative Apres ski activity. My inukshuk was an opal inspiration with Chris. Thanks guys.

Rocks and Gems Canada

Reviewed By Hermionerunner - Horsham, United Kingdom

This is packed full of amazing pieces, fossils, rocks, crystals, jewellery for every taste and every price. It has fascinating things to interest all ages and if you get talking to the knowledgeable staff you will have a very good experience. They were great at helping me choose something to take home as a memento from Canada. I loved the cave bear skeleton and the wide variety of amber
