Raintree's Whiski Jack Snowbird Whistler

Nach unsere ersten Woche in Vancouver sind wir dann am Montag mit dem Greyhound Bus nach Whistler gefahren (3h) um dort nach Jobs zu schauen. Whistler ist einen großes und leider auch sehr teures Skigebiet. Wir haben dort in einem ganz lustigen Hostel geschlafen in dem es keine Zimmer gab sondern nur eine Art Schlafkoje, die mit Vorhängen von den anderen getrennt wurde. Die Jobsuche in Whistler stellte sich als ...

Houston, we have a problem. At 27 days before departure, I put my back out... and I mean badly! All progress stopped - daily life as we knew it fell apart. But I am happy to say that I am well on my way to recovery (I can actually walk now.) In an effort to avoid stress, I have made all sorts of "to do lists" and am doing my best to check off the items one at a time. Get a new roof on the house ...

We all decided that today we would not ski. It is so early in the season and we were tired from the past two days, so we had a big walk on some of the trails around the village and in general just enjoyed being together as a family. The time is so precious when family members live on opposite sides of the continent.

... paths which lead us past streams and lakes and over bridges. But, after spending 2.5 hours pedaling on what seemed to be mainly uphill climbs, we shed our helmets and ordered a beer at the the first pub we hit on our way back into town.
Although we did not want to depart so soon, we look forward to coming back in the future, but next time during the winter months when we can take full advantage of the ski slopes.

I travelled throughout western Canada as part of a teen tour (Rein Teen Tours - Grand Adventure) in Summer 1998. We stopped in Whistler, where we snow skied on Blackcomb Mountain, walked across the Capilano Suspension Bridge and strolled through the quaint town of Whistler.

... like a magical place and all i could think of was how amazing it would look covered in snow, lol. So theres my next plan, to save and come back and ski. We had a very relaxing 2 days, walking and shopping and having cups of tea. It was a shame to leave but i was also looking forward to Vancouver Island and having a home for more than 4 nights.

Howdy from wonderful Whistler! Arrived this morning after a very exhausting flight filled with demanding and loud Americans (no offence to any i hope or they might yell in my ear!) Got picked up at the airport by Luke, drove round Vancouver for a bit and then did a few errands for Luke. This included going to the supermarket and discovering the amazing array of orange cheese, discovering something ...

... 5 pm. By the other side,summer,around 10 pm. We could go biking, swimming, hiking and so on after we work. Second season i mean this year I came bake in summer time. I spent 4 months. I want to stay here more and hang out with my friends.But...Vacation is over. Whistler is a village which like this say,People easy come and ...

Hey everyone, I've been pretty busy since my last update - had a couple of solid days on my snowboard up on Blackcomb, board is great - definately worth a lot more than it cost. My boarding is improving quickly and I've even managed to link a few turns riding switch (which is damn hard!), but I ended up catching an edge and slamming ******* my back - ribs are still a bit sore 2 days later. I'm pretty sure ...

... off the wall personality. I demand a rematch Dennis - until the next time. Rob (aka Brad Nuevo) First member of our soon to grow Colombia crew, very well travelled guy from Seattle. Gamely filled in when we were a man down for a triple date in Medellin, and soon fell into that travelers rhythm - when you find decent company your itineraries start to fall into synch. Stuck with us through all our time in Medellin, Cartegena, and moved on to Venezuela from Santa Marta. Catch ...
