As I’m sure you are well aware, Whistler is a Haven for activities. May is the time of year when you can enjoy an array of different activities in one day. Enjoy biking, skiing and golfing but only have one day? Don’t worry, you can do them all! But what is open this time of year and when does everything open for summer?
If you’re a golf enthusiast, you’ll be pleased to hear that all golf in Whistler is now open for the summer! Whistler Golf Club, Fairmont Chateau Golf, Nicholas North and Big Sky in Pemberton all have world class courses with spectacular views for you to revel in.
Although you can still go sight seeing at the top of Whistler Mountain, the Peak 2 Peak doesn’t actually open for the summer until May 25. But don’t worry, it’s worth the wait. You can absorb the remarkable views of the Coast Mountains and access incredible walking trails. You have to wait a little longer if you want to see Whistler’s latest attraction – the Cloudraker Skybridge opens to the public on July 1.
You’re almost guaranteed to see a bear on Spring bear viewing tours. Get guided through the Whistler area, in a 4×4, and watch these magnificent creatures as they roam freely in their natural environment. All bear tours are available now.
If you think Whistler is more famous for skiing, then guess again. Home to the biggest and best mountain bike park in the world, biking enthusiasts flock to Whistler from all corners of the world. The bike park is officially open for the season now. You can enjoy lots of fun riding on the lower mountain from the Village Gondola and Fitzsimmons Express. Catch a ride all the way to the Top of the World on June 22 when Peak Express opens. Creekside Gondola and Garbanzo both open on June 15 too.
If you missed it last year, you don’t want to make that mistake again. This spectacular multi-media light show takes you on a journey into the forest surrounding Whistler. Discover the hidden valley in Cougar Mountain, and watch the sky illuminated with light and music that will surpass your expectations.
For anyone who thinks that isn’t enough, Whistler’s lakes have melted unveiling beautiful bodies of water, equipped with plenty of water sports opportunities.
