Snow to Sea Tour

oopps... I didn't update our last trip but to recap, we had a blast in the west kootenays in February, snowboarding in Whitewater, skiing along Carpenter Creek, relaxing in the hidden gem cabin (that was the actual name of the cabin) by slocan lake, hotsprings... aww love this place... more photo's can be found in flickr...

Tomorrow we are departing on a two week road trip to the west coast... we plan to be in Whistler by Saturday were we will be staying at the Summit Lodge, a pet friendly place so Pika and Maya will feel spoiled hehe. On Sunday we plan to snowboard at Whistler, Pika and Maya can play guard dog in the van but we will no doubt make lots of stops at the van during the day to let them out. Oh yeah and there is the Telus Ski and Snowboard festival going on so maybe we will see someone famous?


From there we plan to take a ferry over to Vancouver Island and spend a day snowboarding at Mt Washington, then depending on the weather, if it's nice head north west to Cape Scott which is the most northern western point of the island but the access is along a forestry road or if it is rainy head south west to Pacific Rim National Park which is a paved road... we will keep ya posted along the way...
