Description:
Just like Bond, you're in and you're out before anyone recognizes you're there. This short trip is filled with non-stop action that will have you jumping out of helicopters, zipping through the forest and racing down mountains. Can you handle it?
Day Note:
Soaring in the air at 80km/hour isn't for the faint at heart, and Ziptrek & TreeTrek Ecotours will make sure you have a heck of a time. It's an incredible rush to zip down the lines at racing speed with very little effort. Ziptrekking lasts about three hours and at the end of the day you will have some time to walk around Whistler Village to shop for some sunglasses or a new hat - this will help you stay incognito. Dinner at Ric's Grill serves succulent steaks...read more

One of the newer additions to the list of fun activities in Whistler, Ziptrecking is the new thing to do. Strap yourself in and race down the the cable at speeds up to 80km per hour! If you have a need for speed and beautiful views, this is for you!
Description:
With over 10 of the longest and highest ziplines in North America, Ziptrek is an adrenaline pumping activity. As you soar through British Columbia's rainforest, you will get a bird's eye view of your surroundings. The varying ziplines cater to different skill levels. Ziptrek also offers tandem rides for kids, so you don't have to leave them at home. If ziplining isn't your thing, take one of their eco-tours. Trek through the rainforest and learn about nature. You will still get a bird's eye view on this tour, but at a much slower pace.

Whistler Heli-Skiing is action packed, adrenline pumping skiing and snowboarding at its best! Not only do you get ride in a helicopter, but you get access to parts of the mountain the ski lifts don't go. *For avid skiers and snowboarders*
Description:
Many of us have seen the videos of people heli-skiing and there's no doubt it looks pretty impressive. The untouched snow and the high mountain tops beckon you as you land in your very own helicopter. Heli-skiing isn't just for professional and seasoned riders, if you can ride a "blue" run, they reckon you too can take on the challenge. It's a once in a lifetime experience, and you won't regret doing this challenge. Safety is a top priority for your guides and you can trust they will only drop you in snow friendly areas. So, next time you're watching that heli-skiing video, it could be you racing down the mountain.
