During a recent getaway to Vancouver, BC, one of the absolute highlights of our trip was a day…read moreexcursion to Whistler. Located about two hours north of the city, the drive itself is stunning, with breathtaking views of the coastline and surrounding mountains. While we had a rental car, we opted for a comfy charter bus for the ride, we're Texans and typically don't know how to drive in the snow. We left Vancouver's lush, green landscape only to enter into a white, wonderland once entering Whistler. We were also lucky to get mostly sunshine even though it was cloudy and snowing days before we came. We were dropped off at Whistler Village, which is the main hub of the town. Whistler is home to North America's largest ski resort. While we didn't hit the slopes this time, we did partake in some winter activities and did a little tubing at one of their tube parks. Whether you're into skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, or anything else involving snow -- Whistler has it all. One of the highlights of the day was the sightseeing gondola package. It gave us access to ride up both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, including the iconic Peak 2 Peak Gondola (separate review). The views were unreal and had panoramic views of snow covered peaks everywhere you look. We made a pit stop at the Umbrella Bar atop Whistler Mountain for some cocktails with 360-degree views. Afterward, we crossed over to Blackcomb Mountain and eventually made our way back down to the Village, where we grabbed a bite and soaked in the après-ski scene. Next time, I would dedicate a whole trip to this area alone because there is so much to do out here. I will be back.

A Canadian Winter Wonderland [Whistler, BC Canada]…read more We strolled in Whistler in BC Canada on Thanksgiving Day. If you've been to the ski resort village at Palisades Tahoe in California (formerly known as Squaw Valley), Whistler is a bigger version of that. In fact, Whistler is the largest ski resort in North America, it was the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics while Palisades Tahoe was the site for the 1960 Winter Olympics. We wanted to see the Olympic Rings and since we did not venture to the top of the mountain we headed over to the Olympic Town Plaza on Village North and soaked up some of the glory of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games instead. シ While Canada won the most gold medals USA won the most total medals. Lots of shops and dining places. We had crepes at Hot Buns Bakery. We wanted to stay till evening to see the village lights but, unfortunately, we had to return the rental car (w/ snow tires) in Vancouver before evening. I've only seen the beautiful colored lights in pictures. Reserve early for snowmobiles if you're planning to do this activity. Review #3601

I recently joined a tour with Whistler eBikes and had a great time overall. The highlight was…read moredefinitely our guide -- friendly, engaging, and clearly knowledgeable about the area, which made the ride more enjoyable. The tour itself was well-paced, offering a long, smooth journey through Whistler with plenty of scenic views. It was much more relaxing than I expected, and a really fun way to spend a day outdoors. That said, the bikes themselves could use some updates. They felt old, fairly heavy, and a couple had worn-down tires, which took away from the otherwise smooth ride. Some sections of the trail looped back on themselves, which made the route feel a bit repetitive at times. Overall, though, it was a good experience: beautiful landscapes, a laid-back atmosphere, and a guide who made the tour engaging. With some bike upgrades, this could easily become a five-star experience. Works out to be 150$/person for 2.5 hours. Maybe pricey for most but it is competitive pricing.

It's a nice and quick stop if you're driving on the way to something else, but probably not something worth making a stop specifically for.

It's well maintained and simple trail. First 7-8km, you will walk in the forest and last few km will be wide open space and totally different scenery.

I had no energy left to up and down hike, I chose to go down where we passed already. Singing pass is beautiful for Alpine meadow view but I recommend to go up to the Russel lake. 3km uphill. 360 degrees, you will be surrounded by a glacier view.

The panoramic views of the mountains are spectacular and unlike anything else you'll see in the area. It was by far the most challenging and fun adventure we've ever taken! Our guide, Fraser, was phenomenal. Right from the start, he got us fitted into our harnesses and did a thorough, reassuring walkthrough of all the equipment and safety protocols. The journey kicked off with about a one-hour hike through the snow to get to the base of the via ferrata. Fraser was fantastic during this part--meticulously checking the route to ensure the path was completely safe to walk through since the snow was covering a lot of rocks. A few helpful tips for anyone booking: - Take the rental boots! They give you the option to rent hiking boots, and you absolutely should. By the end of the snow hike, the rental shoes and socks were completely soaked. We were incredibly grateful that our own footwear stayed dry for the rest of the day. - The descent is a breeze: After an incredible, adrenaline-pumping climb with breathtaking views, the hike back down to the gondola is on a clear, paved path with zero snow. It's an easy, relaxing way to wind down after a big climb. Highly, highly recommend this experience.

What a great, adventurous activity to soak in the sights and landscape of the surrounding area. After riding the Sea to Sky Gondola to the top (the lift ticket was included in the price of the tour), we met up with our tour guide at a very easy to locate and well-labeled hut. We were greeted warmly and introduced to the small group of others that we'd be climbing with. As newbies to climbing a via ferrata, we appreciated the time our guide took with us to get hooked up with helmets and climbing gear. It was a very hot, very sunny day on our climb but I'm glad I wore leggings as shorts would have been uncomfortable with the belts and loops. Wear decent footwear as there is a lot of climbing to do on this adventure. Our tour started with a short hike downhill to the start of the climbing route. Along the way, we learned a bit of history about the area as well as the local flora. At the start of our climb, we learned the proper way to clip in and traverse the lines, laddered rungs, and bridges. There were plenty of breaks built in and a lot of guidance and directions so we could comfortably work our way up the rocky face of the mountain. The views of Squamish Harbour and the neighboring snowy peaks were awe-inspiring, albeit a bit nerve-wracking to take in at times. For most of the trip you're facing the mountainside so it's easy to forget just how far up you've climbed and the sweeping views behind you. At one point though, we sat on a small bridge facing out and WOWSAH! Took about an hour and a half to make our way through the series of fixed cables. Our guide snapped photos of us through which was much appreciated as I didn't have the right gear on my vacation to keep my phone out for my own photos without fear of dropping it. We received the pictures from the guide right at the end of the trip directly to our cell phones so we left with those in tow. A thrilling tour and first experience on a via ferrata. So grateful for the patience, focus on safety (and fun!), and laid back atmosphere during our time on the rock face. Thank you Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures!

The school was very organized and the teachers were friendly and great with the kids. They learned a lot and I'm glad they did this first to build their confidence.

Technical trails and flow trails abound and we even saw a family up there with what appeared to be their regular bikes from home. The chairs are easy to load and unload and the day we went, we did not have to wait for more than a few minutes for a chair.

Trail Series, Part 33 After mountain biking in destinations…read moresuch as Mammoth, Breckenridge, and Vail, I am honored to report that an independent panel of authorities within the mountain biking community have upgraded my skillset from "Worst Ever" to "Really Bad." Although the patient coaching from younger family members is primarily to be credited (where you at Tim and Wesley! ), I've learned that trail selection is also really important. When presented with the opportunity to ride a technical trail, I've come to understand that flowing trails are much more to my liking. In fact, I enjoy them so much I briefly considered changing my social media handle to "Flo Rida" (but apparently that has already been claimed ‍). While the Whistler Mountain Bike Park has established a formidable reputation amongst skilled riders on an international level, I was impressed with their forethought in also considering the needs of wobbly riders like myself. Not only is there an entire section of the mountain designed for less accomplished riders, but it is almost entirely separated from the numerous daredevils who are intent on disproving the laws of gravity. That may seem like a trivial matter of mere convenience, but safety must also be considered when one rider is merely focused on remaining upright while a pack of bloodthirsty hyenas is rapidly descending upon them at speeds that seem to approach upwards of 60 kph. While I have no embarrassment regarding my lack of downhill riding skills, I have to wonder...is there a reason why the symbol for the beginner's course resembles a band-aid? I mean, is this intended to be foreshadowing of some kind? ‍ Whether you are an accomplished rider or a burgeoning one, I have no doubt that this park will keep you interested and engaged until either your hands, knees, or butt become too sore to continue riding. And that's...Henry's Take. #floridahenry Editor's Note: Absolutely none of the action shots of riders are of me. If they were, all of the following photos would be of me in the hospital.
