When I found out I was going to the Association of Fundraising Professionals Conference in Vancouver, Justin and I started planning a trip where he could piggy back on my adventure. We love to ski and didn't have a chance to go this season so we decided to go to Whistler for a long weekend. We LOVED it. What a great resort!! We stayed at the Westin in the Village which is within walking distance from everything you could ever want or need. It snowed the whole time and the fresh powder made the skiing even more fun. We are used to skiing in high elevation and what was so nice about Whistler is that it's really not that high above sea level so we didn't experience any of the typical high altitude side effects :) I took a ton of pics and it was really hard to choose but here's a recap of our trip.

Our hotel...

First day of Skiing...
While we were in line for the ski lift, birds were landing on people's poles!
The Peak 2 Peak Gondola connects the Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. It's very high, very long and very impressive and there are 1.88 miles between towers...
View from our table at lunch on top of the mountain...

We will be back! Spring Break 2013 - any takers??
