Day Trips in Vancouver
"Buses from Epic Rides depart for Whistler from four different Vancouver locations. The cost is $25 round trip or $18 one way. It takes you up the stunning Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler, North America’s largest ski resort. Even before Vancouver got the Winter Olympics in 2010, Whistler attracted skiers from around the world. In addition to more skiable terrain than anywhere else in North America, and incredible backcountry skiing, Whistler has a toboggan park and miles of snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trails. The Peak 2 Peak gondola connects the alpine areas of the Whistler and Blackcomb mountains with the world’s longest span between towers. Not only that, but Whistler’s pedestrian-only zone has an award-winning restaurant, apres ski bars, and clubs making the city a favored destination for non-skiers as well.In the summer, multiple lakes, golf courses, one of the continent’s longest zip lines, and hiking and mountain biking trails make the resort nearly as popular as in the winter. With the valley floor crisscrossed by miles of paved trails, you can rent a bike for the day to explore the area. With the summer’s late sunset, you can enjoy a long day in this special corner of the world before heading back to Vancouver." - MATADOR_NETWORK
