english bay and lattes




guess what country im in?


i even got to hang out with the simpsons, i didnt even know they lived in vancouver!!


then we headed to whistler where i stayed for 6 nights, we went boarding 1 day and i got to take my new ride out for a trial, it was wicked fun

creekside whistler


there was a lot of bear activity while we were there, they come realy low down the hill and most days could be seen chomping on the grass on the hill, 2 bears have already been shot this spring for breaking and entering, they like cookies aparently

this is a mum and her 2 cubs ( the bronw blobs on the right) we didnt go to close even tho we were slightly tipsy and i wanted to hug them


this was the view out of our room window


the room was pretty good, had cable tv and ensuite shower room, luxury, bit crammed tho when 3 other people moved in. this is the room


these signs in the bathroom made me laugh




whistler mountain, it was closed for the season, would be good to come back and see it covered in snow


heading up the gondola to the ski area at whistler blackomb




just to proove i actualy was there


me and my new board, sexy! jst need new bindings now, my old ones r bring it down stylewise, lol

this was the bigest jump iv seen in my life!! and donw worry sol didnt hit it


just to show how huge this thing actualy was




the main lodge area


our friends tim and briony are staying in whistler for the summer, so we met up with them for the afternoon, this is briony in front of that amazing view


it was the hottest day ever!! far to hot to be wearing boarding gear, so after a full day on the slopes we headed to the irish pub for a well earned strongbow, yum! we were wishing we'd put board shorts on under our boarding pants


vancouver and whistler are hosting the winter olympics in 2010, tickets go on sale fall 2008, im soooo there!!

me geting in some practise


whatcha know, i won gold! no its not a gold painted cd on a bit of ribbon, its an actual gold medal


we'v been very active, some hiking and biking, we got some bikes from the hostel people for free and went on the biggest bike ride EVER!! i was so tired by the time we got back!!

this is the hi hostel entrance, i wouldnt like to be staggering home late at night there!!


us geting lost trying to find lost lake and realising that we were taking the longest way possible to get there


some pics from the bike ride








lost lake


whistler skate park


having some liquid refreshment


me absolutely shattered with a sunburnt face drinking wine out of a jar, im pure class!


while i was in whistler the lovelt greyhound people decided to totaly screw me over and go on strike!! first they said it would be in 72 hours, great il just go back to van a day early, no big deal, then they said oh no as of midnight we'r going on strike! yikees, i head up to the station to see if i could travel that day, no they had already went on strike as of midnight the previous day! thanks for the heads up guys! ever heard of giving people a bit of warning!! so my only choice was to book the train back at a extra cost of $111!! the bus is $15 aaarrrggghh i was extremely angry!! oh well i got the train yesterday, said bye to sol, was the end of our spring adventure, we had a wicked time, she's staying in whistler for 6 wks. the train was pretty nice, filled with middle aged english people. i got my lunch and all the tea i could drink, the driver even slowed down when we passed places to take pics, was good but id much rather have not had to have the extra expense, beans on toast for me for a while i think. anyway, the other annoying this was it only went to north van, so i got a transfer bus to a hotel downtown, then a taxi to the hostel, checked in, got another taxi to the sky train station then headed to steves to dump my board bag, good riddens, glad i dont have to see it again till aug, so heavy!! camilla arrived in van a couple days ago so we headed out for some food and a couple quiet beers, the quiet beers turned into 2 pitchers, numerous double vodkas and dancing till 2am, needless to say im feeling pretty rough right now, blah

mills puting the tunes on at the diner


shaking her groove thang, yes she is up on a platform, woo go mills!


so im in the coffee shop, filling in time till i head to the airport, flights at 5pm, get to alaska around 9.30!! i just want to be there already, i hate having to wait around! so i think me and debbie are going to combine blog forces and jst do one from now on, we'l post the link so u can all still check up on us
