TAG Dinner Tours 

Catered by Whistler's Bearfoot Bistro, with only 10 guests per sitting, this tour by The Adventure Group starts with a ride in a heated snowCAT up, up and away. After dinner fly through the dark as you soar back to the valley below on four side-by-side ziplines. These are Canada's longest ziplines, at well over a kilometre long and 600 feet above the ground.

Farther afield, China has just announced plans for a big new mountain resort. Near the city of Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, the extensive development will be built into a disused cement-mining quarry pit and lake and at its core will feature an as-yet-unnamed, 270-suite five-star hotel.
