Join us for the ultimate skiing/riding adventure.

2 trips for next season.

For those of you that can't get enough, we will be offering 2 trips to our favorite resort next season.  Two different dates and 2 different trips.  Same basic program with direct flights from JFK Sunday morning, motor coach transfer in Vancouver to Whistler Blackcomb, fantastic accommodations and 6 fantastic days of skiing/riding.  

Something new for next season will be the opening of their newest lift, the Peak to Peak Gondola.  The Peak to Peak Gondola is one of Whistler Blackcomb's landmark projects and Canada's newest tourism icon. For the first time ever, skiers and snowboarders will be hitting the slopes on Whistler Mountain and eating waffles at the Crystal Hut on Blackcomb Mountain.

One thing that won't change, it's all the wonderful stores, restaurants and bars that make Whistler village the center of the resort.  The star attraction is and has been the tremendous terrain of both Whistler and Blackcomb.  Lots of slopes, lots of snow and lots of lifts can have you out on the hill all day enjoying the great conditions.  Terrain parks, bowls, glaciers, glades, fresh tracks, you can ski the runs that will be used for the 2010 Olympic events.  WOW, that's a lot things to do.  Don't worry, we stay right in the village so it's early on the hill, no problem.

Both of our trips will stay in the Whistler village and within walking distance of the lifts, because after being on the hill all day, we don't want to have to walk to far to get refreshments and in the hot tub.  Both the Tantalus lodge and the Whistler Hilton offer suites that you can cook if you would like, or right out your door are plenty of wonderful restaurants that will love to offer their hospitality.

Optional activities are quite numerous ranging from spa days to helicopter or snowmobiling, skiing so will always have an adventure to talk about each night.

Plenty more details on the links below, please email us if you have any special requests.

Early morining tracks.Whistler/Blackcomb March 2-9 2008

Sunshine was the word for this trip to Whistler/Blackcomb on this trip.  Three days of blue bird skies had us wondering if we were really in British Columbia.  Great snow and great sunshine made for some marathon ski/riding dates.  The early risers got to the Fresh Tracks breakfast and enjoyed a long day on the slopes.  More photos here.

Whistler/Blackcomb March 4-11 2007

Just a few smiles on this trip.  We would like to thank our all of our returning friends as well as our new friends for joining us on this annual adventure.  Big smiles and big turns.  Watch Warren's helmet cam videos. Or check out some of the photos. 

Whistler/Blackcomb March 5-12 2006

Our 2nd Whistler was everything that was supposed to be, and more.  Large quantities of snow followed by 3 days of glorious groomers.  An early start (7:00 am) with a "Fresh Tracks", breakfast and some super smooth grooming ended the trip with very big smiles on everyone's faces.  We would like to thank everyone that joined us and we hope to see you in the future on another of our trips. 

Whistler/Blackcomb March 3-10 2005

Our 1st Whistler trip was an outstanding success.  We would like to thank everyone that joined us for our 1st Canadian ski trip.  Even though Whistler was in the middle of their worst drought in 20 years, the Pineapple Express, everyone enjoyed the wonderful accommodations and hospitality of Whistler.
