Round The Web: Whistler Biking, Fernie Surfing and Canada's Seven Wonders

Whistler is known for it's skiing, but with the popularity of mountain biking taking off (literally) summer is becoming a desirable season.

Whet your appetite with this first-person helmet cam video I found via Highly Obsessed, showing just how much fun the Whistler bike park can be.

Also, as part of a new column here on the AlluraDirect.com Blog, we'll be highlighting ski resort and travel news from around the web.

Here's the first edition:

• Surf's up...in Fernie? - I had to see the pics to believe it, but rumours of the Ghostrider wave North of Fernie are true.
• Summer finally hits Sun Peaks - Steve, a year-round resident at the resort, blogs his updates.
• Justin judges hokey websites for ski resorts and implores them to update at least once a decade.
• TheStreet.com dishes up 10 Ways to Save on Airline Tickets.
• WorldHum let's us know Canada isn't as boring as others think. We've got 7 Wonders to prove it.
