You’ve just spent a fabulous day frolicking in Whistler’s almost unlimited powder, skiing or riding down perfectly groomed trails on a memorable bluebird day. But the lifts are now closed ’til morning and you still crave some winter adventure in the resort… so, what can you do?

How about donning a headlamp and soaring like an eagle through old-growth forest on an evening zipline adventure you’ll never forget?

“Our Twilight Tour takes place in the late afternoon and early evening hours during the winter season,” says Warrick Hubbard, Director of Marketing for Ziptrek Ecotours in Whistler. “The tours run on some of the same ziplines that guests experience on the daytime tours, except you’re equipped with headlamps to light your way.”

In addition to the headlamps, the Twilight Tour has eight treetop bridges, decks, and stairs, all lit up with the soft glow of twinkling lights. It is your only chance to see the Ziptrek Ecotour course at night.

“It makes for a truly magical environmen­t,” says Hubbard. “Catching the transition from day to night is also pretty special if you’re fortunate enough to experience the alpenglow. The Twilight Tour includes a unique combinatio­n of six distinct ziplines, whereas our standard daytime tours include five, so it is great value on top of everything else.”

It is also an awesome complement to a day on the slopes.

“The Twilight Tour is a great option, as it doesn’t have to come at the expense of your ski day,” says Hubbard. “You’ve got plenty of time to do both. We like to call it, ‘The perfect outdoor après activity.’”

Families of four or more people can save even more with the new Twilight Family Package deal.

The Ziptrek Ecotours Twilight Tour runs only during the winter season, so make sure you book your spot now to experience the thrilling exhilarati­on of the ultimate Whistler adventure.
