SNOWMOBILING PLUS
FONDUE EQUALS
A PERFECT NIGHT ON
BLACKCOMB MOUNTAIN
A tantalizing taste of
adventure at Whistler.
By Lucas Aykroyd
T
he excitement is inescapable
as you prepare to climb aboard
your Ski-Doo Expedition Sport
snowmobile on a crisp winter
night. Not only will you drive 6,000 feet
up Blackcomb Mountain on a guided group
tour, you'll also celebrate your glamorous
arrival at the Crystal Hut with a decadent
fondue dinner.
Whether you imagine this four-hour
round-trip excursion playing out to Wham's
"Last Christmas" or Starship's "Nothing's
Gonna Stop Us Now," it is unquestionably
cheesy—in a winning way.
A quintessential B.C. adventure, the Crystal
Hut Fondue by Snowmobile experience has
delighted thrill-chasing foodies for more
than 20 years. It's a perfect climax to your
day of snow sports at Whistler Blackcomb,
which is home to 8,171 acres of skiable
terrain as Canada's largest ski resort.
After absorbing a safety briefing and tuto-
rial on snowmobile driving, you can pop on
your full-face helmet and get ready to rock.
