Conquer the Fastest Track in the World as the Pilot of Your Own Bobsleigh!
Ready for the ultimate adrenaline rush? Now’s your chance to take control of a beginner-friendly bobsleigh and race down the fastest track in the world at speeds of up to 115 km/h! If you’ve ever driven a go-kart, you’ve already got what it takes to be a bobsleigh pilot—and it’s easier and safer than you think!
Two High-Speed Runs: One as the pilot and one as the brakeman—or bring a friend or family member to be your brakeman and take the ride together on a single run!
Join us at the Whistler Sliding Centre for this 2.5-hour introductory driving school, where a bobsleigh coach will take you through the core skills and techniques needed to pilot a sled. After a brief orientation and track walk, you will be teamed up with a partner and a training sled. With guidance from the coach, you and your partner will take your first runs on the track, taking turns as a brakeman and pilot. Starting at Curve 7 (2/3 of the way up the track), you will pilot your sled reaching speeds of up to 115 km/h while driving through the final nine curves on the Olympic track (read more about our coaches here).
