Whistler trip


We took up a trip up to Whistler this weekend while Steph's parents are here visiting. The journey took about 2 hours 15 minutes by car and had some awesome scenery along the way. Whistler itself is pretty commercialised and sprawls over a large area, but it was all quite tasteful and well organized. We stayed over on the Saturday night in a hotel (which cost us a lot of money - accommodation seems to be very pricey in Whistler). Steph and her Dad did some skiing, while I decided to try some snowshoeing this time which I really enjoyed. Like walking, its a great way to get some exercise, and the snowshoes allow you to get up and down hills that you could never manage on foot in the snow, which makes it kind of fun. The surroundings were beautiful too. We even got some good weather too, although it started to snow heavily on the Sunday afternoon. We all had a great time I think, and would love to do it again, though we might not get another chance this season. Check out the photos on our .Mac website here.
