Escape to Whistler: Win the Ultimate $13,000 Summer Adventure for Two
With lofty frost-covered peaks, old-growth forests of cedar and fir and glacial-fed lakes that shimmer in shades of jade and turquoise, Whistler is where British Columbia flexes its wild side. Sure, the skiing and snowboarding are legendary up here, but summer reveals a side of the mountain that stays hidden in winter. Trails unfurl along ridgelines bursting with wildflowers; lakes invite refreshing swims and paddleboard glides. The village hums with open-air concerts, artisan markets and the chatter of hikers on sunlit patios. Whether you’re chasing adventure or seeking stillness, Whistler’s dazzling landscapes and range of summer experiences dare you to escape the ordinary.
You can enter to win a trip for two to Whistler, valued at approximately $13,000, for the summer of 2026 here.
Adventures That Await
With the grand prize, you’ll soar above glacier-carved valleys and dense alpine forests on the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, where glass-bottom cabins offer a front-row seat to the dramatic landscape below. At the top, step into a high-alpine playground and stroll through wildflower meadows or grab lunch with a view.
Spend an afternoon at Nicklaus North Golf Course. With a course feature designed by Jack Nicklaus, a full driving range and a clubhouse that houses the lakeside Table Nineteen restaurant, this par-71, 18-hole course combines challenging play with stunning views of the emerald-coloured Green Lake and the Coast Mountain range.
For an adrenaline-fueled experience, rev through coastal rainforests and splash across creek beds in a two- or four-seater Side-by-Side, an off-road buggy built for rugged terrain. Expert guides point out hidden viewpoints and help spot wildlife along the way during this two-hour backcountry adventure.
For a slower-paced outing, join a private Jeep 4×4 bear viewing safari with Whistler Photo Safaris. Guided by wildlife experts, you’ll safely observe black bears and cubs foraging in Olympic Park’s secluded backcountry. Along the way, learn about their habits and habitats, and take in sweeping mountain views from the comfort of your vehicle.
Then head to the Scandinave Spa with Thermal Journey passes and cycle through hot baths, cold plunges and eucalyptus-infused steam rooms overlooking forests of cedars and firs. Add a deep-tissue massage or a restorative nap on a sun-dappled terrace, and emerge utterly renewed.
Where You’ll Dine
As part of the prize package, you’ll get a diverse sampling of the village’s favourite offerings.
Enjoy Mediterranean-inspired comfort food at Caramba! Restaurant and handmade Italian pastas at Pasta Lupino.
Savour breakfast at Lorette Brasserie, Whistler’s newest culinary delight, where timeless French techniques meet BC’s freshest ingredients, like wild mushrooms, seafood and tender farm-raised meats. Dive into brioche French toast crowned with caramelized pineapple and tangy lemon curd, gorge on eggs Benedict topped with salmon rillette and brown butter hollandaise or sample their croque madame, with country ham and melted Gruyère sandwiched between toasted sourdough.
At Quattro, a locally loved Italian spot that’s been welcoming diners for over 30 years, indulge in a five-course chef’s tasting menu. Its fresh pastas are paired with velvety sauces, and its extensive wine list leans deep into Tuscany. Candlelight flickers off warm wood accents, making this spot feel like a special occasion, even if it’s not.
For a sweet treat, head to classic Cows armed with a $100 gift card and enjoy rich, velvety ice cream made using an old-fashioned family recipe from Prince Edward Island, crafted with 100 per cent PEI milk and 16 per cent butterfat. Playful flavours like Caramel Moochiato and Nanaimoo Bar are served in handmade waffle cones.
Where You’ll Stay
As if this adventure lineup wasn’t enough, you’ll also get to call the Sundial Hotel home for six nights. This 49 all-suite boutique property sits at the base of Whistler and Blackcomb, putting you in the heart of the Village and steps from the gondolas, bike park, restaurants and shops.
Suites are equipped with full kitchens, airy living spaces and the welcome comfort of air conditioning. Inside, warm, earthy tones and oversized windows invite the mountains in, framing dreamy alpine views. When golden hour hits, slip into the rooftop hot tub for panoramic views and a soothing soak as the sun sinks behind the Coast Mountains.
Start dreaming. Start believing. And tell your friends and family to enter to win now!
