This attraction is geared for the person who cannot ski but still wants to be able to enjoy the vast beauty of Blackcomb mountain.?  The sno-limo is a device that allows a professional skier to guide a seated person safely down the hill.?  The person wanting to participate in this attraction has to pay for a lift ticket to the Roundhouse.?  There you will easily find a counter where tickets are sold.?  The tickets range in price depending on how long of a ride you want to take.?  One hour costs $90 USD.?  Ninety minutes costs $175 USD.?  Other tours can be arranged.

Your own party can ski beside you as you are actually being skied down the hill by a driver.?  The sno-limo is eco-friendly in that no motorized equipment is used.?  Only the strength and skill of the driver are required to navigate the sno-limo.?  The sno-limo is comfortable.?  The seat can be adjusted to fit the needs of the rider.?  A blanket is drawn over the rider so that purses and other equipment will stay dry, and the rider will stay warm.?  The rider should wear warm clothing, boots suitable for walking in the snow, gloves or mittens, a cap or something to cover the head, and a warm jacket.? 

Once you are strapped into the sno-limo, the driver glides down the hill over to a lift that will take you to the top of Blackcomb mountain.?  The sno-limo is designed to be used on the lift, so there is no need for the rider to be removed from the limo.

From the top of the mountain there are several routes down the hill.?  The driver will pause so that the rider can take photos, but time is a consideration.

This ride is advertised as being a safe journey for older people and for people who do not ski.?  There has been only one? injury in the history of Sno-limo and there have been over 5,300 rides.

Before you go, you must sign a waiver just like any other activity you do on the mountains .?  That waiver absolves the Sno-limo company of all responsiblity if you are injured while you are involved with this experience.?  This waiver also states that even if the injuries are caused by negligence on the part of the company, you have no legal recourse.?  These waivers must be taken seriously.?  In the excitement of wanting to go for a ride, many people do not read the fine print, and they don't know what rights they are giving away by putting their signatures on these forms.?  Should you be injured you will have to manage your own medical bills without any help from Sno-limo.?  Nor will Sno-limo be able to be in contact with you or be of any help whatsoever.

Should injuries occur, you will be encouraged to go to the Medical Center in Whistler.?  If you are a non-Canadian, you will be charged $500 dollars, another $300 for the doctor and more depending on what treatments and evaluations are necessary.?  The Medical Center will not bill your insurance company, so you will need to pay the full amount after services are rendered.?  The Medical Center has an excellent staff, all of whom have seen many accidents on the mountain.?  They are prepared to deal with all types of injuries.?  The doctors are well-acquainted with all types of ski injuries.

The restaurant in the Roundhouse called The Steep serves excellent food.?  Among the specialities is as candied, smoked salmon salad, just the perfect amount of protein and vegetable combined.?  The salmon served in this restaurant is all wild-caught and not farmed.? 

The gondola ride up to the Roundhouse is worth the trip, just to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings and to enjoy lunch at the Steep, whether or not you are a skier.?  Don't forget your camera.?  On a clear day the views are amazing.?  Even on a foggy days the views are interesting.
