Ride solo on your own skeleton sled, launching from the Maple Leaf start and racing through the final six corners of Canada's fastest track.

And the best part? You get to do it twice.

No experience required. Our team will guide you through a thorough orientation before you hit the ice.

The Whistler Sliding Centre is the only place in Canada where the public can experience the thrill of Skeleton. Rain, snow or shine, it's a truly unique addition to your Whistler bucket list.

What to Expect

Your Public Skeleton Experience commences with an orientation about your ride and track etiquette. After the orientation, your group will get fitted with helmets and you will walk about one third up the track to the “Maple Leaf” start. Watch closely as a staff member does a demonstration run! When it is your turn, the track team will assist you in finding the correct position on your sled. The control tower will announce your name on the big speakers, give your sled the green light, and track crew will gently push you into the track. And you’re off! As you accelerate down the track, remember to “be a sack of potatoes”, as the most relaxed participants reach the highest speeds of over 100 km/hr. The uphill outrun will slow you down, and staff will bring you to a stop and help you off your sled. Then, head back up for run number two and refine your technique – you want to win the race after all! After your second run, return to Guest Services to check your time and speed.

Your FREE Digital Commemorative Photo

After your ride, you will receive your FREE personal commemorative photo! Feel free to share them with your friends and family and tag us #whistlerslidingcentre, follow us on Facebook and Instagram, and leave a review on Tripadvisor!
