The majority of visitors who come to Whistler B.C. in the winter season are understandably there to enjoy the famed and award winning skiing and snowboarding on some 8,100 acres of terrain on two, towering mountains.

But surrounding that unimaginably large ski area lies countless kilometres of pristine, powder-laden backcountry that's just begging for someone to lay down some fresh tracks.

This massive playground isn't meant to be skied, though.

To get off of Whistler's beaten path and really experience a thrill beyond carving turns on corduroy - you have to try out one of the resort's many snowmobile adventure tours.

"It's a big high," said Craig Beattie, general manager at Canadian Snowmobile Adventures. "It's a great opportunity to really get out into B.C.'s amazing backcountry and play in nature and on a mountain."

"It's a bit of an expensive sport, though," said Beattie. "So the tours are a good way to experience what the sport is all about without spending a lot of money."

Be warned, though. Beattie said plenty of first-time sledders have found love at first ride, and enquire about buying the company's used snowmobiles after their tours are over.

"They have a lot of fun," he said. "They're also surprised by how active a sport it is. People like to take the day off from skiing, but forget snowmobiling gets them using all their muscles too, carving turns and maneuvering the terrain."

Awesome, sounds like the place to be if you have a sled as there's not a lot of snow here.
