Snowmobiling

The year-round ATV/snowmobile tours offered by Canadian Snowmobile Adventures Ltd., Carleton Lodge (tel. 604/938-1616; www.canadiansnowmobile.com), are a unique way to take to the Whistler Mountain trails. Exploring the Fitzsimmons Creek watershed, a 2-hour tour costs C$119 (US$95) for a driver and C$89 (US$71) for a passenger. A nighttime snowmobile tour heads to a remote mountain cabin, where a fondue dinner awaits, for C$219 (US$175), or, for real adrenaline, consider heli-snowmobiling -- catch a chopper to 1,500m (5,000 ft.) and snowmobile virgin snow above timberline (C$489/US$391).
