Summary:
This was a seamless experience for us as a couple. We had a snowmobile each, we were picked up down in Whistler Village on time by a really nice guy called Sasha and his dog. We had a 25 minute drive up into the mountains. Then we met our instructor for the morning called Zach. He was a high energy professional really nice man. He major on safety but didn’t let us escape that we were here for fun as well! A really professional and enjoyable and safe experience with people who know how to ensure the customer is entertained, whilst also ensuring the customer is safe! We would fully recommend doing this any time. On our tour work kids through to older people. Thank you to Zak and Sasha, especially.
