So, next stop after Vegas was Whistler, Canada. I was meeting my family there - they were flying in from Sydney, I was flying in from Vegas.

They had all been to Whislter the year before, I hadn’t - so I didn’t really know what to expect. On the drive from Vancouver to Whistler (about 2 hours), it started snowing quite heavily - so that was promising!

We arrived and settled into our apartment we had rented - very nice I might add… It was getting dark by the time we arrived, but the snow was bucketing down. We went for a walk around, and organised ski hire. The next day we started skiing - great fun. We skied 11 out of 12 days - it is always the case, on the last day you are just getting the hang of it and then you have to leave!

Words can’t express what this place is like - you sit at one of the restaurants at the top of the mountain, and you just look out over the top of the clouds. Here are some pictures I took from Christine’s, at the top of Blackcomb.

Here is another shot on the walking path that connects the Upper Village to Whistler;

If you are ever in Whistler, we had the most amazing meal at Rim Rock Café - it was extraordinary. Great wine list, and the most amazing steaks. I would reccommend you stop by for a meal if you are close by. Details are;
