The experience

The ticket opens the whole mountain to you: axe throwing (age 13 and up), slacklining to test your balance across a suspended line, wiffle golf with lightweight clubs and plastic balls, and base camp games including giant Jenga, cornhole and ladder toss. A self-guided Flora & Fauna Trail winds through the forest and explains Whistler's ecosystem as you walk. You move between activities as you choose, with no schedule or group assignment.

The shuttle picks you up at the Gateway Bus Loop in Whistler Village and brings you back at the end of the day, so you don't need a car. Cougar Café sits at the base camp with food and drinks for purchase. Secure lockers hold your valuables while you're out on the mountain, and fire pits and public seating give you a place to rest between activities. The site runs from 9am to 6pm, so you can arrive early and stay as long as you want within those hours.
