Whistler is a place that can be visited any time of the year because the activities here are ongoing no matter what the season. Visitors’ favorite activities usually vary depending on whether or not it’s summer or winter, but the general consensus is that outdoor activities are the number one thing to do in Whistler.
During the summer, there are many unique types of activities offered. For visitors who enjoy horseback riding or eco hikes/walks, guided tours can be taken on mountain paths. For people who want to advance their fly fishing skills, classes can be taken and guides can be hired through Valley Fishing Guides to bring visitors to some fantastic fishing locations. Also available are boating expeditions, hiking, mountain biking on designated trails, all terrain vehicle riding, golfing, or whitewater river rafting. You may also wish to head south to the Squamish Spit for some outrageous kite-boarding and wind-surfing.
Wintertime offers just as many activities as summertime in Whistler. Most people, however, come to Whistler to ski or snowboard. Some of the other popular winter sports and activities that visitors enjoy are tubing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, snowshoeing, fishing, riding in horse-drawn sleighs, and cross-country skiing. For those who want to enjoy the mountains but don't know how to ski or board, sno-limo offers a way to tour the slopes of Whistler Mountain down green and blue runs in a "sled" with your own personal guide.
All year round, you can experience Ziptrek Ecotours. Select from one of two tours that they offer. The Eagle Tour is a must for adrenaline junkies with its 20 story vertical drop.
If a break from the outdoors is wanted, there is the Meadow Park Recreation Centre which provides a venue for swimming, skating, or playing a game of squash.
