If you’re one of those thoroughbred West Coasters who prefers cool breezes and just a hint of sunshine over truly sweltering summer temperatures, than the heat wave currently baking southern B.C. is likely making you grumble. Luckily, Whistler Blackcomb has a novel remedy for cooling down — snow! The ski resort reports that enough of the white stuff remains in the alpine at the top of the Whistler Village Gondola that, for the first time ever in July, guests can go snow shoeing and tubing at a three-lane park. Blackcomb Peak’s Horstman Glacier is also open for summer skiing and snowboarding until July 25.

There are plenty of other, more traditionally summery things to do in Whistler as well, including golf, river rafting, biking, and ziplining. See www.whistlerblackcomb.com for more options.
