Whistler and West Coast Combo
6 days
In the winter, the best of the West Coast is found in Vancouver and Whistler. Twin peaks with unbeatable terrain is just one reason why Whistler remains at the top of everyone’s favourite ski resorts. Spend half of your time skiing and the other half exploring the west coast’s most popular city. Vancouver has a reputation of being one of the most dynamic and fun Canadian cities. A float plane tour gives you a unique view of the city that few get to experience. Interested in adding a night or a special tour? No problem!

Day 1 – Welcome to the West Coast
A friendly guide welcomes you to Vancouver as you begin your Whistler ski adventure. After being shown to your motor-coach, begin your scenic transfer along the famous Sea to Sky highway. Wind along the Pacific Coast on your way into the majestic snow covered mountains.
You arrive in Whistler and instantly see why it is named among the world’s best ski resorts. Twin peaks with unbeatable terrain are yours to discover over the next few days. Whistler Resort Village is famous for its nightlife from lively pubs and nightclubs to gourmet restaurants.
Check in at your choice of Whistler’s best ski resorts all offering comfortable rooms and friendly service. Choose from hotels with ski-in/ski-out access offering maximum time on the slopes or central village locations offering the best access to the Village.
By providing your details and standard of skiing we can have your skis ready at Summit Rental for your arrival. Exchange your equipment anytime to suit the conditions of your day. Complimentary slope side storage allows you to rest easy during your afternoon snack or pint.
Day 2 – Whistler
Beat the crowds this morning and be one of the first to glide down the mountain! The Fresh Tracks early bird breakfast gives you exclusive access to Whistler Mountain following a full delicious breakfast!
Take advantage of the complimentary Whistler Blackcomb tour this morning. Your orientation host will pass along useful information about the mountain and take you to the best areas of the day.
Enjoy a day of exploring the hills! Whistler Blackcomb features 8100 acres of skiing terrain, more than 200 trails, and access to 3 glaciers, 37 lifts, and 12 alpine bowls. This year Whistler Blackcomb welcomes the impressive addition of a peak to peak gondola. The widest and highest in the world, this gondola will ensure the best views and that you get to maximize your time on two of the best mountains in the world.
Whistler Village comes alive when the sun goes down. Choose from one of the many heated patios or turn up the heat yourself at a lounge listening to live music.
Day 3 – Whistler & Snowmobiling
Enjoy a full day of mountain hopping from Whistler to Blackcomb. Today would be a great day to take advantage of the peak to peak gondola. For best viewing wait for one of the glass bottomed cabins; these silver cabins feature real glass in the windows and a fenced glass bottom for a one of a kind gondola experience.
Tonight, dine in Whistler’s intimate five-star Bearfoot Bistro. Your reservations tonight not only promise modern Canadian cuisine and superb wine pairings but also a truly unique evening. Seated above the open kitchen, you have the rare opportunity to watch some of Canada’s award winning chef’s in action. A tour of the champagne cellar completes your dining experience.
Day 4 – Travel to Vancouver
Wind your way back down the sea to sky highway today on your way back to Vancouver. Vancouver is one of those rare cities that seem to have the best of everything – climate, natural surroundings, restaurants, shopping, culture and nightlife to name just a few. Check in to your hotel and venture out for a night of exploring this dynamic city!
There are lots of fun options for things to do in Vancouver. Consider adding a night at an NHL Hockey Game – a genuinely Canadian experience or embrace more winter activities with an evening of snowshoeing on Grouse Mountain.
Day 5 – Vancouver Sightseeing Tour
Get to know Canada’s coastal city on a narrated tour of Vancouver. See all the highlights – Chinatown, Gastown, Stanley Park, English Bay, and Granville Island. Afterwards spend the remainder of the day at your leisure – ask your Fresh Tracks agent for a few suggestions.
Day 6 – Floatplane Tour/Departure
This morning, take an exhilarating floatplane flight across Vancouver! Get a bird’s eye view of some of Vancouver’s best attractions, such as the downtown core, Stanley Park, the harbour and the north shore mountains. Photographers will especially enjoy views of Horseshoe Bay, English Bay and Deep Cove. The sensation of landing on water is always a memorable highlight.
Return to solid ground and it’s time to make your way to the airport for your return flight home.
