Day 4

Arrived in Whistler on Thursday late afternoon in the rain...
and woke up to the rain on Friday...
 but not being one to let that get in the way, we geared up in our waterproof gear,
grabbed the snowshoes and headed off...
We were socked in completely
but snowshoeing through the forest was lovely
and worth the effort.
Today we decided to hit the ski trails, again, in the rain ...
we were in  complete fog from midpoint
to the alpine point of the slopes....
could not see much but we put in a good day of skiing.
The smartest thing we did was hook up for the 'host' service at the top of the chair
where you meet up with a local and ski the runs with them.
Anyway, fingers crossed for sunshine on Monday....
Here are a few pics of our snowshoeing at the Olympic park where the ski jumping and cross country ski competitions took place....
lots of snow...

beautiful trails leading deep into the woods....
and me at the end of our tour....
wishing we were on the slopes but the snowshoeing was lovely given the beautiful forests of BC!!
Ski photos are being saved for Monday when the sun shines....
I hope!!!!
à bientôt

  7. So sorry that you hit so much rain, but that is mainly what it does there most of the year. That's why I'm so glad we left the Vancouver area, we could not take any more of it.
    I hope the weather improves for you! And when the clouds life, you will be dazzled by the views and the mountains.
    Hugs, Cindy
