Whistler this summer

While putting the finishing touches on a program we have in Whistler this summer I thought I'd share a few highlights of actually doing a summer program in Whistler. Some of you may have considered Whistler only a winter destination and while it definitely is that, and is in full gear for the 2010 Winter Olympics, I'm really excited about our summer program there. It's action packed! They offer such great activities - for all ages and sizes! We're offering:

• Zip trekking


• Hiking with the 'bears'


• Golf Tournament


• Fishing (trout, cut throat or dolly varden) using fly or spin


• Kayak/canoeing (you can pick your boat!)


• White Water rafting (cat3-5)


• ATV'ing up Blackcomb (spectacular views!!)


• Chef's table food & wine pairing at Bearfoot Bistro for a guest event - you've got to try slicing the champagne bottle open with a saber! It's amazing.


• Heli-hiking - helicopter up to pristine and remote places to hike

Our final event is an Olympics Scavenger Hunt in the Village and Blackcomb. It's been crazy putting this one together - but the goal is to just have fun, explore the area, and have a little bit of competition. I hope we're not just bribing them along the way with gifts at each stop. If you have a unique location/idea for this event at Whistler then send it to me. If I use the idea I'll let you know and send you a thank you gift for the effort!
