Feel the need for speed with summer bobsleigh at Whistler Sliding Centre (PHOTOS)
FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
We all love a cool breeze on a hot summer’s day. So how about feeling the wind rush past you when you’re sliding down a track at 90 km/hour?
The Whistler Sliding Centre will be hosting its popular Summer Bobsleigh activity starting on Friday, July 1.
No experience is required for folks to take a piloted ride until September 4. You’ll even get a chance to discover the iconic 2010 Olympic Winter Games venue during your visit.
