A ski resort in British Columbia is providing an unorthodox golfing experience for players with a head for heights.
Visitors to the Four Seasons Resort in Whistler can pay £290 to be flown to the Big Sky Golf and Country Club''s spectacular ''19th hole''.
Situated 8,000 ft above the golf course on Mount Currie, the hole offers breathtaking views of the Pemberton Valley and the chance to hit some of the loftiest drives in the game.
Press officer Samantha Geer told the Daily Mail: "It''s a great attraction that has brought a lot of interest and a different experience to our guests.
"It takes around 20 minutes from the Big Sky Golf Course to reach the tip of Mount Currie - and the views are magnificent."
In addition, Mount Currie golfers do not have to worry about tracking down wayward drives – all the balls used are biodegradable.
The 18-hole, par-72 course at Big Sky opened in 1994 and measures 7,001 yards.
