Glacier skiing is what keeps the skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts coming back to Whistler Blackcomb Mountain throughout the year. The Horstman Glacier closes in April and re opens in June for the summer months so you can enjoy skiing all year round.

Mountain biking is definitely one of the most popular Whistler summer activities available. It has some of the best mountain bike trails in the world, covering every level from novice to professional.

A wonderful fishing experience available for novices and the experienced alike. Whistler offers some excellent fishing, especially for Trout. You can have assistance from local fresh and salt water fishing guides, who offer local knowledge and can provide you with all the equipment needed.

For a huge rush, try out the bungee jumping which takes place in the rugged terrain of the Cal-Cheak Recreational Area. If you fancy plummeting 160 feet from a 300 foot pedestrian bridge, this is for you. There is also the option of dipping into the glacial waters of the Cheakamus River. The question is are you mad enough!

If you want to cool off from the summer sun, then Whitewater rafting is for you. You can enjoy rafting along the Green River or if you want to have a bigger thrill, whilst getting soaked then check out the big rapids on the Elaho River.

For a slightly more relaxed time on the water, try the out the canoing or kayaking. You can enjoy this experience on the crystal clear lakes or a more popular place is on the River of Golden Dreams, which offers a unique setting of natural beauty.

Enjoy the flora and fauna of Whistler whilst on horseback. This is a great opportunity to see some amazing views, remote lakes and waterfalls and ride through lush ancient forests. This is a great experience and can be enjoyed by novice and expert riders alike.

If you are a golfing enthusiast who longs for pristine fairways and well-bunkered greens on one of Canada's finest golf clubs, then look no further than the Whistler Mountains. As these courses offer the most amazing panoramic mountain scenery and crystal clear streams it will even entice non enthusiasts.
