Whistler Adventures




Whistler has become the soft adventure capital of Canada. There are more ways to safely thrill yourself in and around Whistler than there are hopes of Canadian Olympic medals in the upcoming Games – and that’s a fair few. I ziplined with Ziptrek Ecotours 200 feet above Fitzsimmons Creek on their longest, highest, mostest tree-top zipline course. I took a Hummer tour into the surrounding wilderness accompanied by the smell of fresh fries, as even the gas-guzzling Hummers are powered by biofuel here. And Whistler is made for mountain biking – perfect cross-training for my upcoming marathon. Even the wildlife cooperated in this sense of adventure, as we spotted two black bears from the gondola.
