Whistler Trip!

We did a last minute trip to Whistler over Winter Break. It was a big storm system (with rain) at the cabin and at Stevens Pass. But it was snowing at Whistler and our ski passes work there this year. So all we had to do was get there.... So we left the cabin at 8:00AM in the rain, picked up our passports from our house in LFP, and headed up to Squamish, BC to a hotel. They had a pool and waterslide for the kids, we ate a picnic dinner in our room and played cards. It was actually a lot of fun (but a LONG drive). The next day we skied from open to close at Whistler and headed home (another long drive). There was 4+ feet of powder at Whistler which was incredible and made for a number of times where we had to dig each other out of the snow during the runs. The storm was lingering at Whistler - heavy snow and lots of wind - so the top part of the mountain was closed, unfortunately, and everyone was skiing the mid-mountain which made for long lines. We had a few great runs at the end of the day, though. So - not totally ideal, but we still did it. As we say in our family, "Its always an adventure." That's definitely true in this case.
