Hi, i'm planning a mini trip in whistler, found a loding for 2 for $90 :)

i've researched some activities i can do there, but i do not know how much they are, can u guys give me some tips on which actitives are worth it the most? (biggest bang for buck)

ATV
Jet Ski
Canoeing
Horsebacking riding
Glacier Tour
Mountain biking
Hiking , FREE (i assume)

I'm personally targeting at about $50 per person for my activity.

any resources to coupons for these activities are greatly welcomed :)

I recommend trying out the Salmon Bake via ATV.

It was an awesome experience riding up to the top and then enjoying the view and food at the top. The whole trip was about 4 hrs.

Biking. I was just there one month ago and I saw a lot of people biked down the hill that used to be covered by snow.

how does biking work..? i'll rent a bike there for $12/hour.

but do i have to buy a "bike park ticket" to be on the "ski area", how do they check?

cant i just bike on the hiking trails to go up the mountain?


ALso, anywhere to just rent an ATV per hour without any guides? cuz these atv packages with a guide and a given hours are usually at least $100+ and a little too exxpensive for me

partying?
Whistler already has a bad reputation on partying....they are trying to clean that up though. There is 0 tolerance by the Mounties. If you want to party, party in Vancouver or the Okanagan.

Just like during Ski Season, you have to pay to go up the mountain and then ride downhill. There is usually a long line-up in the summer by avid mountain bikers.
