Blackcomb Snowmobile located near Whistler British Columbia was a great company to book this super fun excursion with. Whistler is a Canadian resort town in the southern Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains in the province of British Columbia, Canada, approximately 125 km (78 mi) north of Vancouver and 36 km (22 mi) south of the town of Pemberton. Over two million people visit Whistler annually, primarily for alpine skiing and snowboarding and, in summer, mountain biking at Whistler Blackcomb. Its pedestrian village has won numerous design awards and Whistler has been voted among the top destinations in North America by major ski magazines since the mid-1990s. During the 2010 Winter Olympics, Whistler hosted most of the alpine, Nordic, luge, skeleton, and bobsled events. Blackcomb Snowmobiles offered the scenic tour which Brent and Elsa chose and it gave them a great introduction to snow mobile riding and the backcountry, making it perfect for timid first time riders. The guide lead them on wide groomed trails through the mountains offering up spectacular view points. Brent of course had his GoPro along taking in some incredible footage of such an amazing area. The only thing Brent and Elsa were saying at the end of this tour was, "When can I go again!" After an hour or so touring along the groomed pathways, going at quite a slow pace because the group always takes the pace of the slowest rider, which was all good in the end. Once the group approached a frozen lake, they all gathered and were given a few instructions from the guide. “ go as fast as you want within this area, but be safe!!!” . Well being that Brent has always been into motorcycling, both dirt and street, he took that phrase to heart and told his wife to HANG ON. Once given clearance, Brent puts the PEDAL TO THE METAL so to say to see what this machine could do. As you will hear, Elsa is not quite the speed demon Brent is and asks him to “slow down” but this bounces off deaf ears. Of course being safe they take a couple good runs and enjoy the open air and sun for a blast of a ride. Next stop, a nice little cabin for a hot drink and a snack. Everyone lines up to exit the lake and park in front of the cabin, simple right??? Well i guess not for everyone. One of the couples ahead of Brent and Elsa appears to hit the throttle a little too hard, takes a bit of air at the top of the hill and crashes right into one of the other snow machines. Banging up his leg and scaring his wife a little , it seemed the worst damage was to his ego. All in all this was an amazing day trip and experience. Enjoy the video and if in Whistler don’t hesitate to take this tour.
