- jaimeDotombori, Japan5 contributionsThe best ski resort in the world, with excellent service and park services. This year great fresh snow and ski conditions. The staff is super nice, friendly and professional; always taking care of skiers. Great restaurants and bars making the resort, the best selection for a winter vacation.Written December 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Li JTampa, FL28 contributionsAwesome spot for a day hike near Whistler or Vancouver. It's got stunning views and is totally worth the trip. Just a heads up, you'll need a free permit in advance during the high season. You can get it online starting at 7 am two days before your visitWritten November 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NadgetasticCoulsdon, UK53 contributionsWhat an experience!
The ride itself may be over in 52 seconds but the whole hour leading up to it was filled full of great facts, anticipation and excitement.
The people could not be more helpful and fun and walking the track is worth the money alone.
The ride is hard to describe in its intensity and sheer bone rattling excitement, great times!Written August 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The trails are so well made and up kept. We started on the Greens but quickly progressed onto blues and were soon reveling in the speed an thrills of the DH trails. The lifts are great, staff are friendly and helpful. The watering points dotted at the top and bottoms of the trails are really useful too! If you're going to go to any Mountain Bike Park, make it this one!Written November 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jsd26Cardiff, UK170 contributionsClose to the Olympic Village just to the South of Whistler, this is definitely worth a visit. With two parking lots available on Janes Lake Road the trail is a pleasant stroll through the woods to a bouncy suspension bridge, on the other side of which lay seven wrecked train carriages from a derailment in 1956. Two information boards explain what happened and how the carriages came to be where they are. Now covered in graffiti the carriages make for an incongruous site in the forest. Two of the carriages require walking a little further but it’s worth the effort.Written January 31, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- gabidivAguascalientes, Mexico33 contributionsNice and has a beautiful view. The bridge feels secure and steady. You get to have the opportunity to see unique views of the mountains and lakes.Written September 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Triptravels1Perth129 contributionsGreat tubing activity for those with no experience at snow sports. The tubing was fun, and was fast enough for me! Due to low snowfall at the start of the ski season, only 2 of the 7 tubing lanes were open. Tickets weren’t being sold online, only from the tubing park. On arrival, we needed to complete a waiver, then have our names added to the waitlist. At 11.45am, this was a 1 hour wait. You could be sent a text, or just leave and come back closer to your designated time. Others had been arriving from 10.30am to start lining up, before the park opened at 11am. We were given half-price tickets due to the conditions - as only 2 lanes were open, it took around 20 mins for each round trip, including: the tubing ride, travelling back up to the top via-magic carpet, and queuing to wait for your next turn. In our 1 hour session, we fit in 3 rides. Beautiful location and it was snowing during our session.Written January 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Unsatisfied3 contributionsThis hike is super intense, and if you have short legs definitely bring poles. Many very large steps, and scrambling required. Last km is freaky af don't look down. But the way down is not as scary as you might imagine as you are going up. View at the top is stunning, and seeing the glacier was pretty cool. Don't even look instead the outhouse at the top. Use the woods.Written September 19, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Zon W6 contributionsMy daughter (13) and I (55) did a two day camp and loved it. Nessa was our coach and John (owner/coach) also joined on one day. Both are very experienced and made it so fun and we learned a lot, got better and want to come back more :) We were more interested in free skiing and jumps, but realized being more comfortable with moguls can unlock the mountain. By the end we both got better with moguls feeling more control. With free skiing my daughter improved a ton. Nessa coached her down Spanky's Ladder!! I was worried the camp was only for experts but seems to be for intermediates and up. There was a mix of family, adult and ripper groups.Written January 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Claire FNewcastle upon Tyne, UK14 contributionsHitting the trailhead yesterday was amazing, once you hit the 3km marker you will start encountering isolated patches of snow. This becomes a snow trail from around 4km. Snow is densely packed all the way up to the meadows, around 5/6kms from the tusk itself. However once here, without snow shoes the snow becomes almost impossible. With the warm weather we started sinking, at points up to our waist. If you are planning to head here as we, snowshoes are defo recommended if you plan on getting anywhere near the finishing point. Be safe hikers!Written May 3, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sophie SGreater Shepparton, Australia82 contributionsI had my 12 year old daughter enrolled in the 5 day ski camp, and then a two day, and then two single day lessons.
I had thought that the camp would keep the same group of children and teacher (ideal for my daughter with autism), however each day was a different teacher and group. However, my daughter mostly had a great time. She is usually an over confident intermediate skier (which I pointed out on the first day) however she had a couple of good scares on the the first day and flatly refused to ski anything other than green runs for the rest of the trip. I was somewhat disappointed to see that, given at home she will ski the odd black run. However, she still progressed and her technique is significantly improved.
The instructors and organisers were generally friendly and kind and made my daughter feel welcome each day.
The had a GPS tracker on each child, and each night an email would arrive showing where they had skied for the day. This was great fun to relive with my daughter and keep her engaged. The instructors even let her ride with a GoPro some days so that she could record some of her runs, thank you. She loved being able to do this.
Two thumbs up for Lisa (from Russia) whom really clicked with my daughter and gave her heaps of encouragement.
The only negative is the extreme cost of WB Ski School, especially when you add a tip at the end of the day. Hence why I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars.Written February 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This well equipped facility is rightfully named as half of the gym is in the basement. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. John always remembers us every year. My experience here has always been a positive one. Good gym, great atmosphere and excellent people! We’ll be back again next summer!Written August 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Max b1 contributionThe Backcountry X snowmobiling experience with Canadian Wilderness Adventures was absolutely brilliant. It was a challenging ride that pushed my skills while offering the incredible opportunity to get off the trails and truly explore the backcountry. The snowmobiles were modern, well-maintained, and handled the terrain beautifully. Our guide, Kyle, was fantastic—he went above and beyond to ensure the group had an unforgettable adventure. It was everything I was looking for and more. I highly recommend this for anyone seeking a true backcountry snowmobiling thrill!Written February 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
