Make that PhotoS Friday, since I’m posting a photo essay! Here’s an overview of the weekend we spent in Whistler, British Columbia a few weeks ago.
Base of Blackcomb Mountain, the mountain right next to Whistler

This is where we stayed:
The Aspens on Blackcomb – Ski In/Ski Out!
Heated Pool – But Forgot Our Swimsuits!
Condo Living Room
Condo Kitchen – Bedroom & Bathroom to the Left
View from the Balcony
This condo was bigger than our first apartment in Toronto and way more luxurious than our apartment in China – we want to move in!
DH gets ready to ski out – “Look C/J, I’m wearing the free t-shirt!”

Meanwhile, I head down to Whistler Village for coffee and aprés ski activities:
I stop at this creek to take a bunch of photos with my new camera…
It’s so sunny I contemplate joining these fellas for a while…
I stroll through Whistler Village…
I attempt to debut my new blog mascot, but Gumby is still a little camera-shy. Ducky is still around, but Gumby is more pocket friendly.

Later, Gumby & I meet up with the DH for some steak & brew.
It was so good I took photos:
Filet Mignon
Venison Medallions

Later, later…
We met up with our friend from TO here at Moe Joe’s. It’s a bar populated mostly by ski & snowboarding instructors and local staff. The DH & I felt like the oldest people in the world! But it was fun anyway.
The Verdict? Nice place, decent skiing. WAY too expensive!

Looks like a fun time! It’s a long story, but Grover could be my blog mascot…he’s had his photo taken a lot of places, just like your Gumby.
We were just up in northern Michigan last week…staying at a condo in a ski resort…so this reminds me of the great week we just had there.
Nice work
Hey globalgal, did you enjoy your time in Vancouver? Nice place huh? Ever thinking of moving there?
I really did enjoy Vancouver. It is a beautiful city. I’d like to visit again in the summer when there are more outdoor activities to do. I wouldn’t rule it out as a future home, but somehow I don’t think we will return to Canada to live.
Given that I spent 4 weekends in whistler this past season, lmk when you’re planning to go there again and I’ll share my cost-saving tips.
