Whistler Get-Away

Frank and I had an awesome get away to Whistler before having to come home to our real lives in Victoria. We had 3 nights in the village, and were located right along the "village stroll". This place is unimaginable and the pictures don't really do it justice. There are just over 90 groomed runs...amazing! There is so much to do both in the winter and summer seasons that the activities and sights are endless...I can't wait to go back again.

For those not into outdoors and adventure, there is shopping.... and lots of it! And of course eating is always good, the food is yumm yumm delicious. I do have to admit though.. that eating is very expensive, it's a good thing we weren't there for much longer ($13.00 for a hamburger and fries - and if you want salad instead of fries, add another $2.00 to your bill - yikes!).

We didn't ski this trip as Frank has a bummed knee but we did venture out on a 3 hour snow mobile tour. It was exillerating, it started at dusk and went into the night. We travelled 4000 feet up Blackcomb Mtn. to 6000 feet above sea level, and had a beautiful view of the village below us. It was a clear night with stars and a full moon...we couldn't have asked for better weather conditions. We are planning to go up again within the next year whether it's in the summer or winter... I don't know, either way you can't go wrong.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and has a smooth transition back to work!
