Wednesday a friend, Liz, and I went up to Whistler to stay overnight. We both wanted to try out the new Sea to Sky gondola near Shannon Falls. I neglected to take a picture of the gondola itself unfortunately! But here we are on our way up!
It was an amazing view and certainly an easier way to "climb" the Chief. You can climb up and ride down or ride up and hike down. If you have a dog he can only ride down!
Some gorgeous views of a beautiful area!
Those mountains are so gorgeous! And yes there is a a suspension bridge. I don't always like suspension bridges but this one was fine and amazing views of course! It is 100 metres long...
I love that view of Howe Sound-glaciers give that water that amazing colour!
I liked the tree above!
After this pleasant adventure we drove up the spectacular road to Whistler but stopping first for lunch at Nike Lodge on Nike Lake. It is one of my favourite spots!
Here is where we were staying at Club Intrawest in the Upper Village
We headed almost immediately to the pool!
The next morning after another refreshing swim and breakfast we headed off. Below is a bit of a view of the side of the Chateau Whistler and the Upper Village
You can see Blackcomb Mountain here from the Upper Village. Whistler has not one but two amazing ski hills!
It is a very pretty walk into the village. It looked very different than when I was here in the fall!
In the Lower Village now...
A favourite place for all is Cows, originated in Prince Edward Island, it has fabulous ice cream and some rather nifty gift ideas as well!
The flowers are lovely in Whistler
Memories of the 2012 Olympics
After a little shopping and lunch we headed back towards Vancouver.
And someone was waiting when I got home!
