Sleigh Rides

Can't you hear those sleigh bells ringing?

Can there be anything more romantic than a sleigh ride through Whistler's magical winter wonderland? Gentle, giant Percheron horses lead the way and comfortable sleighs with padded seats and cozy blankets keep you warm. And let winter come alive on an enchanting sleigh ride through Grouse Mountain's snowy paradise. Take friends and family on a memorable journey around the mountaintop through snow-covered forests. This is what memories are made of.

Tobogganing & Snow Tubing
Who doesn't remember fresh winter days spent hurtling down a hill on a crazy carpet? Vancouver, Coast & Mountains is slider heaven! The following are just some of the places where you can jump on a toboggan or a tube!

Mount Seymour
A designated toboggan area where families can enjoy the excitement and magic of playing in the snow. Mountain Seymour also has a separate snow-tube park. An absolute guarantee for fun and laughs with friends and family. Besides the thrill of sliding down the hill in one of their specially designed tubes, you're assured enjoy the ride back up by their custom rope tow! Enjoy night tubing on weekends!

Cypress Mountain
Cypress' snow play area is all about having fun, and with a variety of ways of sliding down the slopes you cannot fail to have a blast. Feel the thrill of sliding down chutes in a snow tube and let their tube tow do all the work getting you back up the hill. Or, cruise the slopes in a toboggan or build yourself a snowman.

Manning Park
Check out the Polar Coaster Tube Park, Manning's tubing area. 3 runs for different abilities and a lift service to get you back to the top for the next ride down. A great snow play area for toboggan enthusiasts as well!

Whistler
The run under the Magic Chair on Blackcomb Mountain in the Upper Village is open and lighted a night. Anything that you can slide on is welcome including skis, snowboards, snow skates and tubes!

Adventures on Ice

Climbing
The dramatic beauty of the alpine environment in winter combines with the improbable medium of frozen waterfalls to provide the setting for this exhilarating winter sport. Well known areas for ice climbing include Lillooet and Whistler.

Outdoor Ice Skating
What better way to experience winter than skating on a frozen mountain lake or a smooth outdoor rink high above the city? Skate for as long as your legs will carry you under the magnificent mountains on Green Lake in Whistler. Or grab your skates and go for a glide on Grouse Mountain's 8,000 square foot skating pond. Perfect for a romantic evening for two or a fun-filled day with the kids. The ice skating pond is just steps away from the warmth of the Peak Chalet. Take to the illuminated Manning Pond an night and enjoy and evening skating session or a more energetic hockey game. Didn't bring your skates? Don't worry, rent them when you get there!
