Sep 29, 2009 - Something's smokin'

Now it was decision time: do we drive through Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay for the ferry to the Sunshine Coast, or do we do the route up through Hell’s Gate, Cache Creek and down through Whistler. ... All that aside, we did see some magnificent scenery on the way to our rainy day at Whistler. ... Not much to see in Whistler except the shops, shops, and more shops. ... Claudie, originally from Quebec and her boyfriend Chad both work in Whistler. ...

Sep 4, 2009 - The hills are alive (again)

We awoke to a really beautiful blue sky this morning and I immediately dreamt of owning a nice chalet lake house! :-) The group split today for various activities. I wanted to keep pushing myself and nobody else seemed keen so I started out on the Singing Pass trail, up Whistler Mountain. ... I am not sure what fate was trying to tell me with these two meetings but I chose to ignore it! We had dinner again in Whistler town and ended up in a fun Irish pub afterwards with a live band. ... Although I dont ski I can imagine the apres ski here (and also I guess the skiing!) is pretty good so I may have to add this to my list of things to do so I can come back! The evening ended again with more games of pool and Team Ginger was formed who are bound for pool domination for the rest of the trip I think.We awoke to a really beautiful blue sky this morning and I immediately dreamt of owning a nice chalet lake house! :-) The group split today for various activities.

Sep 3, 2009 - Give a little whistle

Bit of a sore head this morning but at least I passed out and missed the snoring symphony so every cloud. Our accomodation for the night was in Whistler, down by the main lake which was a really stunning setting. ... Anyway, after a couple of hours to chill out by the lake we trooped into Whistler town for a great dinner at a Greek restaurant. ...

Jul 23, 2009 - Whistler, BC

Took a trip to the ski resort of Whistler, 2 hours fantastic drive up the coast to sky highway. ... Whistler is preparing to host the nordic events in the winter Olympics next year but for now its mountain bikes not skiers screaming down the lower slopes although there is still skiing available on the high glacier. ... The pedestrianised village was really upmarket – all the expensive brands were available and the classy hotels all had a presence here, but there was a great feel and atmosphere to the place that everyone could enjoy.Took a trip to the ski resort of Whistler, 2 hours fantastic drive up the coast to sky highway. ...
