A: Yes, if you can walk you can snowshoe. The Nature Walk however is suitable for all abilities. We do not recommend that you join the Mountain View tour if you have asthma, a heart condition, etc.

Q: What kind of snowshoes do you use?

A: We use the modern style shoes, which are smaller in size, are made with an aluminum frame and rubber/nylon webbing. They are very light and easy to learn how to use.

Q: How much of the tour is snowshoeing?

A: The actual snowshoeing time is about 75% of the tour time. We include transportation from the Whistler Village (about 10 minutes each way) and about 10 minutes to get organized and hear the safety speech.

Q: Does the Nature Tour do any climbing?

A: No. The Nature Tour focuses on a walk through the forest and along the river. There are a few stopping points where we discuss the animals, trees and visit the bird feeders.

Q: Do I need any special equipment?

A: No. We ask you to dress in warm winter clothing, and we supply snow-boots, snowshoes if you need them.
