Hell’s Gate Airtram
Boston Bar
43111 Trans Canada Hwy. Boston Bar, British Columbia
http://www.hellsgateairtram.com/

Today’s Groupon to Hell’s Gate Airtram (a $54 value) in Boston Bar, about a 2.5-hour drive east of Vancouver. This Groupon expires on September 30. Choose between the following options:

For $32, you get a gold-panning adventure for two (a $64.62 value).
For $64, you get a gold-panning adventure for four (a $129.24 value).

Gold-panning adventures include:

Airtram tickets (a $20 value each)
Bowls of homemade salmon chowder (a $6.71 value each)
Panning for gold admissions (a $5.60 value each)

The Hell’s Gate Airtram ferries sightseers and outdoor adventurers over the rushing waters of the Fraser River at Hell’s Gate and across to a tiny tourist town filled with a hodgepodge of historically themed activities. The intracanyon aerial tramway offers panoramic views of the dramatic canyonscape during the drop into an area that boasts the biggest claim ever staked during the 1860s Fraser River Gold Rush, when citizens buried their gold jewellery, then challenged prospectors to dig it back up again. Friends gather around the gold-panning station, sifting through gravel culled from the Hills Bar along the Fraser River and training eyes to hone in on flecks of precious gold. Hot bowls of homemade salmon chowder refuel fatigued scavengers at Simon’s Café, after which visitors tiptoe across the passenger suspension bridge that stretches over the narrow, 35-metre pass and lean over the observation deck to take pictures of the scene.

An area with reportedly high paranormal activity, Hell’s Gate invites guests to head to the gift shop to seek autographs from regularly appearing specters, including the girl behind the gift-shop door. Additionally, environmental enthusiasts can check out the fisheries exhibition or spend part of the day hiking and having staring contests with trees on the nearby trails.

The meticulous chefs at Yakko Sushi ferry diners through a carnival of crowd-pleasing combination dishes, such as the D combination ($16.99), which introduces fish portions of tuna and salmon to a colourful and artistic arrangement of scallops, hokkigai, and amaebi, festooned with luscious negitoro and hamachi rolls. Meals can be additionally punctuated with decadent deserts such as mango ice cream ($3.99) and with air-horn accolades to the chefs.

A circus training school for more than 25 years, CircusWest prepares budding ringleaders to gracefully soar into acrobatics, aerial arts, and other fanciful disciplines. Passionate instructors, some of which have graced Cirque du Soleil’s stage, lead classes comprised of 4–12 students of all skill levels. The Intro to Aerials Class teaches students to hover gracefully in the stratosphere without the use of helium-filled jumpsuits, instead providing aerial circus apparatuses. Students learn to perform acrobatic tricks while hanging from the static trapeze, the aerial hoops, and a long wrapping fabric called tissu while building core and upper body strength. Main a Main, meanwhile, hones in on earthbound acrobatic poses performed in balance with other students, and Contact Juggling trains dexterous hands to create gravity-defying illusions with acrylic balls and staffs without first making deals with underworld misanthropes. Intro to Circus acquaints students with a variety of the above circus disciplines and more, including aerial arts, object manipulation, and unicycling.

This Groupon does not cover the mandatory insurance required for each student due on the first class day ($11).

L12-955 Hornby St. Vancouver, British Columbia
http://electralaserhairremoval.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $59, you get a microdermabrasion and hydrating mask package at Electra Laser (a $150 value). The package includes:

Skin analysis
A DiamondTome microdermabrasion treatment
A customized oil-free facial mask
Electra Laser’s skin-rejuvenation clinic, featured on 94.5 FM’s The Kid Carson Show, helps restore youthful glows to both men’s and women’s faces during facials and non-invasive microdermabrasion treatments. After analyzing faces to determine the best treatment plan and level of exfoliation, expert therapists magically pull the DiamondTome microdermabrasion machine from their clients’ hats and equip it with a diamond-chip wand tip that can vary by size and coarseness to target skin conditions such as sun damage, acne, and unwanted pigmentation. Wands glide over faces and precisely exfoliate and remove the top-most layer of the epidermis, promoting collagen and new skin layer production. During the customized mask treatment, skin artisans paint faces in a refreshing, oil-free gel that invigorates and brings moisture back to dry skin with a blend of calming botanicals and antioxidant vitamins free from artificial fragrances and colours. Clients usually emerge from the 30–45 minute treatment with minimal or no downtime after the procedure, allowing a return to daily activities and flash mobs at the mall almost immediately.

Redeem from home
http://www.nationwidecarpetcleaning.ca/a/j/vancouver

Today’s Groupon: for $49, you get a three-room carpet cleaning from Nationwide Carpet & Furnace Cleaning (a $109 value). This deal is valid only in Vancouver and Abbotsford; customers must book their cleaning by October 15, 2011.

Nationwide Carpet & Furnace Cleaning’s team of IICRC-certified technicians evicts embedded floor debris with a Thermo-Rinse hot-water extraction system. The carpet cleaning begins as an experienced technician surveys three rooms up to 225 square feet each, reports expected results, and spot-treats any problem areas. A steam cleaning then dislodges and sucks up contaminants including dirt, pollen, dust, and other pollutants that build up over time as street-friendly feet tread across floors. Throughout the carpet cleansing process, Nationwide uses only gentle, low-fragrance HomeSafe products as well as practiced CPR to resuscitate wearied fibres. The cleaning concludes with a Fast-Dry chemical-free fresh-water rinse that expedites drying by removing more than 97 percent of moisture. The cleaning can improve air quality by removing settled airborne matter such as rogue spy planes and can prolong carpet life by removing contaminants whose additional friction frays fibres.

Nationwide backs it services with a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. Post-cleaning, homeowners can reference an online stain guide to handle any emergency discoloration. Today’s deal does not include energy fees and waste handling, which removes all waste including contaminants from the carpet and disposes it at a water treatment facility in accordance with the law. Like permanent marker mustaches, not all stains can be removed, including burns, bleach spots, dyes, and UV fading, and technicians will advise customers when encountering these stains.
