As part of our sales training we are required to experience all our adventure bookings first hand. Our staff is allowed to experience each tour once during the season so that we may sell the adventures with enthusiasm. In addition, it allows for an accurate recount of details leading to a truthful selling experience for our customers. It is not mandatory for our staff to jump off a bridge, but why the heck not if its part of your job!

The first tour we did was bungee jumping at Whistler Bungee. What an adrenaline rush! The staff was fantastic and really helped make the expereince fun. Standing 163 feet over a raging river getting ready to free fall is nerve racking to say the least. However, the staff and equipment setup at Whistler bungee really made us feel safe. It was a crazy experience that I highly recommend everyone try at least once in their lifetime!

On the same day we did Ziptrek in Whistler. We did the eagle tour and it was a blast! The whole tour took about 3 hours and was a great outing suitable for almost any age.  Our favourite was definitely the zipline that is 6 football fields long and drops 20 stories!

After that our staff day continued with an ATV tour at Canadian 01. Some of us had never been on an atv before but man was it fun! The views from whistler mountain were great and we even saw a couple bears along the way. Powerful machines made for an awesome time conquering the terrain. A perfect way to end our adventure day.

Yesterday we got to go White Water Rafting with Canadian Outback Adventures. What a wild ride! The elaho river was at a high point so the rapids were extra brutal. Getting hit with a wall of 4 degree water really wakes you up! We all felt really safe in the raft despite the conditions and the staff was super friendly and knowledgable. Absolutely spectacular scenery from the river as well.

Thats all of the adventures we have expereinced so far but we look forward to testing out the stellar reputation of the other companies soon!

I hope that this post gave you soon informative details about the adventures we offer. Believe us when we say all of them were a blast!

After all, its all about having fun in this business.

Where adventure is a way of life…..

We were really happy to be able to contribute to this local event. We provided a free bike shuttle service throughout the day that really helped with crowd control and overall transportation of spectators and racers.

In addition, we were happy to sponsor a rider. The self proclaimed King of Valleycliffe, Brandon Hofmarks! As the winner of our Test of Metal contest, we provided him with a free entry to this years race. He finished a respectable 436th with a time of 4hours and 10 minutes. Good Work Brandon! (For complete race results visit http://testofmetal.com/media/Results/2011TestOfMetalOverallResults.pdf)

All in all the race day was a tonne of fun and is really a great source of excitement and unity for this town.

We really look forward to next year’s race and to contributing even more to this fantastic event!
