Nachdem wir eine Woche lang auf Hans' Anruf gewartet haben war es endlich am Montag dem 14. September soweit. Gleich am nächsten Tag startete der Trip Richtung Whistler/Blackcomb. Wir mussten seeeehr früh aufstehen und konnten uns so bei der Autofahrt nicht wirklich auf die schöne Aussicht konzentrieren. Trotzdem konnte ich ein paar Fotos schießen vom schönen Sea-to-Sky Highway! Leider war das Wetter nicht so wie erhofft :( <br><br>Wir hatten richtig glück ...

After weeks of planning, the time had come. <br>The morning of April 1st 2009 began with fairly heavy snow compared to what had fallen the previous days. An early alarm woke Liz and I with Dora, our 30 year old golden campervan, sitting patiently outside on the drive, all packed, prepared and ready to go.<br><br>Maggie joined us for the short drive to Southside Diner for breakfast and ...

... face in the middle of the dance floor!!! I immediately refurbished myself and looked around like nothing had happened, everyone has mastered their poker face by that stage except ol Ash clarke who lost his **** in histerics. My left knee cap was evidence the following day I didn't dream that moment!!! WOOPS!! My final day on the slopes involved confusion communication to rendezvous with Ashley and Nat, which was a shame because I did come here to spend some time with my buddy and the ...

... más lo que podían recoger de las calles. Tras unos días allí también nos cansamos y buscamos la manera de ir a ver la nieve sin dejarnos todo el presupuesto. Nos fuimos a Whistler donde, si bien encontramos lo más barato que había disponible, nos dejamos mucho más de lo que debíamos. Aún así pasamos unos días estupendos alrededor de montones y montones de nieve. Para reírnos un rato nos apuntamos a una excursión por la nieve en un trineo tirado por ocho perros. Nos dieron lo que ...

... our first night initiation to the wonderful world of Whistler, BC. We got f-ed up and had a good time and almost made some bad decisions, but it worked out. The next day it was raining so we didn't go skiing, too bad...I guess we'll drink. We got really drunk early and Jimbo ended up getting sick that night so we kept it low key. We went skiing the next day and it ...

... it, I was not about to fall at all. And the conditions were just perfect, good visibility and snow coverage. Well, I want to be a good skier after that season so I kind of have to push my limits, thats the only way to improve my riding skills... Ok now thats all I can think about right now. I hope you guys have fun back home, too. How I said, I will try to get pictures uploaded as soon as I get some nice new footge. See you than Lucas

An entry I´ve been meaning to put together for a while, I`m going to update this space occasionally with new friends we´ve made and want to remember, some of the more memorable quotes from the road, any advice to fellow travellers we have stumbled across, and, well, any other info that needs a permanent home. You´ll find quotes at the top, personality section in the middle, and miscellaneous tips and such if I ever get around to it at the end. This may be more interesting to ...
