We’ve just come back from a weekend away to Whistler, for the last weekend of the ski season. Nathan and Tom went snowboarding on Saturday afternoon, Anna and Stef went for a go on the ZipTrek, whereas I went for a leisurely cycle along the Valley Trail with Jacqui. The scenery was great, with excellent views back towards both Whistler & Blackcomb. We also passed a number of lakes and all of Whistler’s major golf courses. I thing myself, Tom and Nathan will have to head up there for a round sometime.

We cooked a huge BBQ on Saturday night then split up for another day of acitivities on Sunday. This time myself and Tom went MTBing on some sweet singletrack near Lost Lake. We only managed two hours though, mainly due to the heat as it was almost 32C! It felt a bit weird being back in Whistler with the temperature 40C+ warmer than the last time. We also had no water with us, being without our Camelbacks and not having suitable water bottle holders on the rental bikes. Still, it was good to get out on the bikes again.

The drive home along the Sea-to-Sky highway was spectacular, surrounded by mountains initially, then slowly giving way to the ocean as we approached Vancouver. As usual, I took some photos, so check them out.
