With the right vehicle, Whistler’s
scenic back-
country trails are a breeze.
Take the high road and
channel local pioneer spirit
with one of Adven-
tures on Horseback’s (page
XX) amiable equines.
Riders are welcome to set
their own pace, whether
it’s trotting through the
Pacific temperate rainfor-
est or galloping through
an open meadow. Gaze
up at the awe-inspiring
Mount Currie, 2,591 m
(8,501 ft) above, or saddle
up with Copper Cayuse
Outfitters (page XX) and
dig into Canadian gold
mining history on a multi-day
Li-lik-hel Mine
Expedition. For modern-day
explorers, Whistler
ATV (page XX) offers a
high-octane way to con-
quer the wild terrain. First-timers
roar through a
labyrinth of forest trails,
while advanced riders rev
their engines up to a lookout
point 1,524 m (5,000
ft) above sea level for a
spectacular photo-op of
the Coast Mountains range.
It’s the perfect excuse
to pack a selfie stick.
Adrenaline junkies and
bucket-list warriors who
dream of soaring through
the air have come to the
right place. Start at the
top with Whistler Skydiving
(page XX), where a tandem
jump from 3,200 m
(10,500 ft) with an instructor
leaves adventurers
free to enjoy the unobstructed
view of crystal-blue
lakes, lush greenery and
snow-capped mountains
below—once the parachute
interrupts the thrilling
45- second free fall, that
is. For those who prefer
bridges to airplanes, there’s
Whistler Bungee
(page XX). Daredevils of
all ages and abilities can
practise their superhero
poses as they plummet
50 m (160 ft) from a pedestrian
bridge over the
glacier-fed Cheakamus
River. Widely considered
one of the most extreme
activities in Whistler, it’s
the perfect way to go big
before you go home.

The ESSENTIAL Vancouver is the city’s only oversized, upscale-traveller
publication designed for and distributed in 4- and 5-star hotels.
The editorial appeals to the luxurious lifestyle of the sophisticated,
affl uent guest with fashion, art and urban amenities that defi ne
Vancouver. The ESSENTIAL Vancouver is the perfect way to reach
this lucrative market.
Whistler’s rivers and lakes
are icy, but the action
is hot. Thrill-seeking travellers
and fun-loving
families put their paddling
power to the test by
rafting through glacier-fed
white water rapids with
Sunwolf (page XX). With
adventures for every abil-
ity level, from the roaring
Elaho to the gently rolling
Cheakamus River, there
are plenty of opportunities
to get your feet—and everything
else—wet. Those
looking for a more meditative
experience can head
over to Backroads Whistler
(page XX) and glide
gently down the River of
Golden Dreams in a canoe
or kayak, with fresh air
courtesy of the old-growth
forest. Drift solo, or go
with a guide to discover
the
stories behind every landmark.
For those who love the
river, the road or the sky—
