With today’s Groupon to Canadian Flight Centre at Boundary Bay Airport in Delta, you can choose from the following options:

  • For $175, you get an introductory aerobatic flight lesson (a $350 value).
  • For $225, you get an introductory aerobatic flight lesson with video coverage (a $450 value).
  • For $249, you get an advanced aerobatic flight lesson (a $499 value).
  • For $325, you get an advanced aerobatic flight lesson with video coverage (a $649 value).

Canadian Flight Centre’s accredited Transport Canada instructors guide prospective pilots and seasoned aeronauts through two-hour training courses in aerobatic flight. In a 72-minute ground lesson, an experienced aviator will help recruits get acquainted with the movements and procedures in the plane, as well as the proper way to pet the dashboard for good behaviour. After a tour of the aircraft and maintenance facilities, recent gravity naysayers slide into the driver’s seat to chariot of a Citabria for introductory forays. Those opting for advanced lessons somersault into the purpose-built Super Decathlon, a plane used in air shows.

In 45-minute in-air sessions, new pilots learn to make the plane an extension of their bodies, with wings flapping like carefree arms over the lush local scenery. Intro students execute basic loops and rolls, and advanced fliers soar through an air-show-style program, which incorporates more complex flourishes and inverted flight. Video-covered sessions bestow new pilots with more than an hour of raw film footage of their session, recorded by multiple in-flight cameras to capture any mid-flight bubble-gum-blowing attempts. Both advanced sessions are intended for licensed pilots and serious flight enthusiasts.

Licensed pilots can log their video-covered flight as aerobatic training, which grants two free club sodas when mentioned at airport bars. Aerobatic flight lessons also make a great holiday gift for aspiring aviators.

In a Nutshell
Tortilla techs hand roll 10″, 12″ or 14″ burritos customized with meats marinated overnight, fresh salsa & array of hot sauces

Mucho Burrito
988 Davie Street, Vancouver, British Columbia

http://www.muchoburrito.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of Mexican fare and drinks at Mucho Burrito, valid at the Davie Street location.

The tortilla technicians at Mucho Burrito craft a menu of fast Mexican fare highlighted by meats marinated overnight and salsas assembled fresh each day. Chefs hand-roll flour or whole-wheat tortillas into 10″, 12″, or 14″ burritos weighing nearly 1.5 pounds, a heft which requires burritos to buy their own airplane seats rather than sit on their owners’ laps. After each shell is lined with cilantro-lime rice, beans, salsa, and cheese or sour cream, gourmands choose a finishing protein such as charbroiled AAA top sirloin ($7.99 for a 12″), herb-crusted tilapia ($8.49 for a 12″), or a vegetarian medley of sautéed peppers and onions ($7.49 for a 12″). Alternative shell variations include quesadillas ($7.99–$9.99) and hard- or soft-shell tacos ($5.79 for two), also customizable with a choice of edible accoutrements. For further personalization, diners can paint their portraits on tortilla canvases with Mucho Burrito’s array of hot sauces, from smoky chipotle to red hot savina, a bottle filled with heat extracted from the devil’s tongue pepper.

Purple Castle Brewing

http://www.vanbrew.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $84, you get a brew-on-premise winemaking kit yeilding 23 litres of wine at Purple Castle Brewing (up to $169 value, including HST and $10 service fee). Wine bottles are not included with today’s deal but are available for an additional fee of $1 per bottle.

Within a 4,300-square-foot brewing and winemaking facility, Purple Castle Brewing’s savvy staff helps fledgling winesmiths craft and bottle their own libations using state-of-the-art equipment. Patrons peruse the extensive list of reds and whites—including a dry pinot noir, an off-dry gewürztraminer, and a sardonic eight-week Australian shiraz—in search of an iteration of adult grape juice that ignites their inner dionysians. Under the adroit wing of a knowledgeable staffer, patrons whip up a 23-litre batch of their preferred wine, enough to fill 30 750-mL bottles or one kiddie-pool-sized decanter. Vinous brews then hunker down to undergo flavourful maturation for four to eight weeks, after which their creators return to the brewery to steal a sip of their handiwork before relocating the fermented potations to their glass cages. A 30- to 45-minute bottling, labeling, and corking session ensures newly minted wine remains fresh for up to two years. Purple Castle Brewing advises guests to let their wine rest for up to two weeks post-bottling to procure a more developed mouthfeel and avoid exhaustion-based temper tantrums mid-pour. Today’s deal also grants Groupon holders a $50 gift certificate toward future wine making sessions.

With today’s Groupon to Amanda Kerr Photography: for $49, you get a choice between the following options:

  • Two-hour basic photowalk excursion, which runs on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and on Thursdays through Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. (a $300 value).
  • Two- hour fundamentals of composition class (a $300 value).

Students must bring their own DSLR or point-and-shoot camera. Each session has a six-person limit; photowalks and classes both include the following:

  • One hour of instruction
  • One-hour photography walk

Trained photographer Amanda Kerr hones students’ photographic prowess during two-hour training and photowalk excursions or more advanced composition classes, which convene at the monolithic Olympic Cauldron or on the shores of Sunset Beach. Once participants have gathered, Amanda introduces lens-aiming neophytes to manipulation of aperture and shutter use as she acquaints each with their camera’s unique operations and preferred Chicken Soup for the Soul volume. In two-hour composition classes, pupils learn to fill their camera’s frame completely with a desired subject, allowing for ideal image balance. Instructors introduce composition standards and international espionage techniques such as the golden mean, rule of thirds, and horizontal and vertical framing. Students will also experiment with finding optimal shot angles and lighting levels.

Groups then patrol the area’s most photogenic spots to put newly attained camera-whispering skills into practice. Stroll by the Cauldron’s intertwined steel spires, and snap ideal shots from a viewing platform which, according to CBC National Post, grants unobstructed views of the “powerful symbol.” On Sunset Beach, browse a stretch of the Stanley Park Seawall system to capture city skylines or seagull honour duels from its quiet sandy spits. Participants submit their photos at the end of each walk, and can find their favourite images colour-corrected and protected by password in an online gallery shortly following their workshop. Participants should dress warmly as all parts of the photowalk are conducted outside, and tours will be held, like postman boot-camp training, regardless of weather conditions.

Amanda Kerr Photography is not responsible for damages to personal equipment.

Laserium’s highly trained team of medical professionals perform laser hair removal with the LightSheer Laser System. While a cooling mechanism comforts the surface of all skin types by cooing Michael Buble songs, targeted hair pigments absorb pulses of light and conduct the energy into follicles. The light builds as heat energy, diminishing existing hairs and preventing follicles’ ability to support further growth.

Laserium recommends eight weeks between sessions, which take 10 minutes for small areas and up to two hours for large areas. Treatments deliver a light snapping sensation akin to the snapping of a rubber band or the caress of porcupine, and after each treatment skin may appear red and feel warm, which typically dissipates within a few hours.

During each oil change, mechanics swap out soiled engine juice for up to four litres of synthetic or mineral motor oil freshly extracted from the face of a teenage robot. The factory-trained staff also infuses rides with a new oil filter to help ensure fluids flowing within vehicular veins stay free of contaminants. As oils exit or enter engines’ reservoirs, car whisperers run through a multipoint inspection to catch any potential safety or operational issues. Though the service usually takes about 60 minutes to complete, times can vary depending on a car’s make, model, and fear of service-bay heights. Some older models require mineral oil; call ahead with questions about oil requirements for specific vehicles.

For the soprano pizza, chefs decorate a doughy canvas in provolone cheese, basil, chorizo, and both spicy capicolla and prosciutto ham, each sourced from local sustainable farms. Barbecue sauce forms the foundation of a daisy duke pizza covered in smoked free-range chicken and bacon. Chefs can also craft pizza selections with a gluten-free crust. Between bites, diners sip Whistler Brewing Company’s Black Tusk Ale or Powder Mountain Lager, named for the confectioner’s sugar topping each of the Rocky Mountain’s peaks.
