canada. we drove up to whistler from vancouver, which is one of the most spectacular drives we have done. it is on a highway called the "sea to sky" and it makes sense: you climb along the ocean and the inlets and bays up into the mountains.
todd and i have a soft spot for ski towns, and vancouver was very good to us. it is like summer camp for 20 somethings- biking, hiking, skateboarding, lakes to swim in, a river running through the villages. . .
and a giant glacier at the top of the mountain that you can snowboard and ski on. it takes 3 chair lifts and one bus to get up there.
whistler is the host for the 2010 olympics, so they are building this peak to peak gondola that is an engineering feat unrivaled in northern america. the towers are 4 times the height of the statue of liberty, and it spans 2 miles and is 1400 feet in the air.
totally nuts!!
mountain towns. we love them.
it was 86 degrees and beautiful. we got off the chair lift and headed to the lake, snow bro heaven.
30 feet of snow a year! lakes! lets all move there!
