(1) If you’re feeling festive, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride and enjoy the scenery as you sip hot cocoa and snuggle up under a blanket. Finish your journey with a three-course fondue dinner in The Chalet at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Course.

(2) Perfect your ‘mush’ with a team of Alaskan Huskies. After being guided through the snow-covered landscape by Blackcomb Snowmobile, try your hand at leading the pack.

(3) Take a walk on the wild side and strap on a pair of snowshoes with Outdoor Adventures. Bring along a guide and, at dusk, finish your trek with a fondue dinner. From beginner to intermediate, all levels of experience are welcome.

(4) Tear up the backcountry by going on an adventure with Blackcomb Snowmobile. Make a stop at a backwoods chalet for a snack, and then continue winding through the network of trails.

(5) Get in touch with Mother Nature by zip-lining through snow-capped treetops with Ziptrek Ecotours. Your guides will suit you up in warm gear so that cool weather doesn't slow you down.

(6) Seeking extreme adventure? Pair up with a professional from Coast Mountain Guides and try your hand at ice climbing. It isn’t everyday that you get the opportunity to scale a frozen waterfall.

(7) The newest way to ride the mountains? The Sno-limo. Sit on a padded chair as your driver, on skis behind you, manoeuvres you down various mountain runs.

(8) Join fellow mountain enthusiasts and hop a gondola at the base of either Whistler or Blackcomb mountains. At the top, grab a hot drink and let your eyes wander over the awe-inspiring view.

(9) Travel to the mountaintop in style on a heated snowcat with Blackcomb Snowmobile. Interact with your tour operator and sit back in your cushy seat while enjoying the view, courtesy of wraparound windows.

(10) Strap on a pair of ice skates and glide across Green Lake while taking in the breathtaking views of the mountains overhead. Afterwards, enjoy a hot chocolate or apple cider by the nearby fire.
