A hhhhhh....Summer in Whistler. As any local will tell you, one of the most
eagerly anticipated seasons at this four season resort.

There is an endless abundance of things to do in and around Whistler.
But just because Summer has arrived, doesn't mean that skiing and snowboarding are over.
Blackcomb Mountain now boasts one of the longest ski seasons in North America, staying
open until August 2nd this year, conditions permitting.
If you enjoy golfing, there are 3 fabulous golf courses located in Whistler Resort, two
more in nearby Pemberton, and two alongside the Sea to Sky highway on your way to
Whistler. In Whistler Resort, enjoy the links at the Arnold Palmer designed Whistler Golf
Course, Nicklaus North, which was home to the 1997 Skins Tournament, or the Chateau
Whistler Golf Course. In Pemberton enjoy the Big Sky Golf Course, or the locals favorite
the Pemberton Valley Golf and Country Club. Along the Sea to Sky highway on your way to
Whistler, you will pass the Furry Creek Golf and Country Club, followed by the Squamish
Golf and Country Club.
For the Mountain Biking enthusiast, Whistler hosts a number of trails to test any level of
rider (logging has been a major part of this valley's history and those old roads go
EVERYWHERE). We do have bike rentals available from the lodge. If you
prefer real horsepower to steel (or titanium, aluminum, etc.) why not go Horseback Riding
in the Whistler or Pemberton Valley.
If you want to get a little (or a lot) wet, this resort hosts a number of water related
activities and sports. Including spectacular Lakes and Beaches. Experience the
thrill of the shooting through the rapids with one of the rafting or jet boating
companies, or rent a canoe or kayak and take a leisurely paddle along the River of Golden
Dreams. If fishing is more along your line, find out why people were coming here long
before it was a World Famous Resort.
There are also a number of tours that you can take to experience the Whistler
Valley.....from walks along the Valley Trail, or with BC Rail to experience the
breathtaking beauty of the Sea to Sky Corridor. Don't miss the opportunity to check out
our ATV and Four Wheel drive tours.

Why not spend a day Hiking and Mountaineering in the backcountry with an experienced
guide, or enjoy the complete surroundings from 10,000 ft with a helicopter or flight seeing
tour. If you want to be in a little more control of your flight, why not try
Paragliding from the top of Blackcomb Mountain into the valley far below.
And whether you are an experienced in-line skater, or just want to learn the sport for the
first time, there are over 20 kilometers of paved trails winding through the valley that
will appeal to all skill levels.

Village, Whistler Creekside, or at Marketplace in Village North.
Or you can get in a workout at one of the Resort's fitness centres; aerobics, body
building and personal weight training programs are available. Why not pickup your racquets
and head to any of the tennis courts that dot the valley, or the squash courts at Meadow
Park Sports Arena for as intense a workout as you wish. After a long day of having fun and
playing hard try something a little more relaxing. A soothing massage or shiatsu session.
You can book your lesson directly from one of several locations throughout Whistler.

regional history, skiing, and local flora and fauna. It also offers Valley bus tours and
