Skating at Whistler Olympic Plaza takes place daily between 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. Public access to the rink is free and skate rentals are available for $5 between 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. and in the evenings from 6-9 p.m.

Sleighs to Skates

 

 

From sleighs to skates, Whistler welcomes new activities this winter. At the Whistler Sliding Centre, a legacy of the 2010 Winter Games, the public bobsleigh and skeleton experiences are new. Participants in the Skeleton Slide Experience begin their track journey at the Maple Leaf Start, about 1/3 of the way up the track, making their way through six corners and reaching speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour, while Bobsleigh Ride Experience participants are led by a professional pilot through 10 corners at speeds of up 125 kilometres per hour.
