WELCOME TO WHISTLER BC VANCOU V ER 2010 OLY M PIC & PA R A LY M P I C G A M E S V E N U E Whistler is famous for its two spectacular winter playgrounds, Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. By the numbers, “the hills”—as they are affectionately known by locals—are incredibly appealing to any ski or snowboard enthusiast, as they boast a combined 8171 acres of terrain, 200+ marked runs, and 1164 centimetres (458 inches) of average annual snowfall.

But it’s the top marks the resort earns in the categories of terrain variety, off-hill activity, terrain parks, après and overall experience that have earned Whistler the #1 Resort award by Ski Magazine.

If variety is the spice of life, then Whistler’s impressive range of activities will ensure everyone has a taste of a winter adventure they enjoy. For those who revel in recreating under their own steam, there’s ice skating and hockey, classic and skate cross-country skiing (including a trail for dogs), tobogganing, snowshoeing and eagle viewing. Gravity fed snow-sports that will get your heart pumping encompass skiing, snowboarding, tubing, ziplining, snowmobiling, bungee jumping, heliskiing, cat-skiing, bobsleigh riding and skeleton sliding.

Challenge your puzzle-solving skills in live escape rooms or experience a unique dog sledding tour led by our furry four-legged friends.

Whistler also has a wealth of cultural activities to explore, such as tasting and fondue tours, pub crawls, markets, and museums. Learn about the art, history and culture of the indigenous peoples of our region at the Squamish Lílwat Cultural Centre.

To experience the breathtaking views of Whistler and Blackcomb, their snow-capped peaks and forested terrain, take a ride on the Guinness World recordholding PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, built for sightseers, skiers and snowboarders alike. Tickets are available at Whistler Blackcomb Ticket Windows and Guest Relations locations. 1.800.766.0449

FLOAT PODS EXPERIENCE DEEP

R E L A X AT ION

BENEFITS OF FLOATING -

deep lasting relaxation relieves stress & anxiety assists with chronic pain enables restful sleep deepens meditation enhances creativity alleviates concussion symptoms speeds athletic recovery

EPSOM SALT FLOAT PODS

Doing nothing is really quite something and it’s not often that we allow ourselves the time to do nothing. We provide a peaceful space where you can enjoy the health benefits of sensory deprivation in an Epsom Salt float pod. Your float experience is all about you.

The 650 pounds of Epsom Salt in the water allows you to be completely buoyant and float on your back. Floating helps the body realign itself; the salt leaves your skin smooth, silky & it replenishes the magnesium deficiency most of us have.

The water is kept at body temperature, or 93.5 F, causing you to lose track of where your body ends and the water begins. Our pods are insulated against sound and light.

Without the constant pressure of taking in information, analyzing the world & fighting gravity, your mind lets go and you’ll experience lasting stress relief and deep relaxation. It’s amazing.

･Floats are 90 minutes ･You float naked, no need for swim suit ･You are in your own private float room

SINGLE FLOAT $95 PACKAGE OF 3 FLOATS $75 each (shareable)
