The Whistler Blackcomb Mountain (WB) Peak to Peak Gondola is wheelchair accessible during the Summer Months and Winter with a new Sled to transport you to the Blackcomb Lodge at top during the snow season. Accessibility is an important feature of Whistler Blackcomb’s landmark project and Canada’s newest tourism icon. Lift Ticket Rates include the Peak to Peak Gondola. For more Information please visit the WB Official website at the above two links.

The Pique to Pique Gondola makes for a great Adventure and if your daring enough try the Glass Bottom Cabin which is a Silver Colour.

SNO-LIMO: Please Note that Sno-Limo is not in operation this season. Provides safe and secure tours of both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains via a sit sled ski. We are very proud that our Sno-Limo service is fully accessible and integrated! In fact last season we had many people with varying levels of disabilities join us. And all had a terrific time.

We have very few limitations, as long a person can sit down we can provide a tour. For those with limited upper body strength or needing additional assistance to remain seated we can provide a 4 point harness to ensure a comfortable seating position. There is no lower body strength required. Please visit the above link for more information.

THE CORE: (opening soon) All our activities are extremely versatile without many limitations, with the exception of climbing for paraplegics and quadriplegics. Some of the versatility of these activities also requires the guidance and coaching of our supervisors and instructors.

The Core is the ultimate four season climbing and fitness facility. It combines the promotion of health and exercise-related activities designed to facilitate positive lifestyles, for both families and individuals to enjoy. These activities will include a climbing gym, kid’s adventure zone with a maze of tunnels, ladders, slides, and other obstacles creating the perfect indoor playground, weight/cardio area, multi-purpose fitness area, lounging/viewing area and base camp for a variety of outdoor activities. Please visit the above link for more information.

ZIP TREK & TREE TREK: Ziptrek and TreeTrek Ecotours take place high in the treetops between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains.

With a maximum of 8 people on a tour during the Winter, our guides must divide their attention between all guests to ensure the safety of everyone.

If a disabled person requires the assistance of another to walk, climb stairs, or understand the curriculum being given, then they will need to have a person or people with them to accomplish that.

The biggest difficulty we have accommodating a disabled person is if they are in a wheel chair. Our terrain is varied and there are quite a few stairs to climb. It is almost impossible in the Winter time.

Please visit us at the above link for more information.

WHISTLER BUNGEE

We have had quite a few disabled people come out and have the time of there life. Bungee Jumping is a great activity for disabled as there is no skill required, as long as we can get them into a harness then they can jump or we can push them.

We have full wheelchair access to the bridge and over the bridge! We jump year round.

WHISTLER HELI SKI

We have taken out many Hard of Hearing and Deaf groups in the past for Heli Skiing Adventures and they loved it.

In terms of someone who is Mobility Restricted it would depend on the type and size of the Sit Ski you would be using. The sit ski would have to be able to fit in the outside box of the helicopter and an Assistant would be required to accompany you.

For Visually Impaired it would depend on the severity of the vision so you would have to contact us. It is possible to take you along once we know that information. But would need to know before hand for safety issues.

Visually impaired and Mobility Restricted would need an assistant as our guides have to watch over the group and cannot provide for an individual disabled persons needs.

Please contact us for further information.

Canadian Snowmobile Adventures

Are Snowcat tours are both suitable for the hard of hearing and mobility restricted guests.

Snowcat Tours would require that a guest (who is mobility restricted) be able to make there own way to the Whistler Mountain base area, which is only approximately 5 minutes away, then we could assist them into our snowcat for the tour.

Snowmobile Tours would require the Deaf or Hard of Hearing person be able to communicate with the Lead Driver on his Snowmobile or they could go as a passenger with limitations.

Please visit the above link for more information.
