Family festivities

It's wonderful to live in a place family and friends want to visit!  Whether for a brief apres-ski drop-in, a dinner party, or an overnight stay, we love to welcome others to share our home.

Charlotte comes up from Vancouver quite often, usually with a pack of active (and hungry) friends in tow.  One day we got out together for some cross-country skiing on the valley trails.  We also got some other days skiing with her in the alpine.  Most visits include rather spontaneous and amazing dinner parties too.





One of my birthday highlights was a day in the alpine with Toria.  What a pleasure to see her alpine skiing again.  (she had knee surgery in September)

Gone skiing

Enjoying January conditions = plenty of fresh snow!

Also, planning sailing options....maybe across the North Atlantic?

Festive Season

The Whitney home base in Whistler has been busy with friends and family, gatherings, festivities and - of course - lots of coming and going as we enjoy our snowy, winter-y surroundings.

The snowy alpine slopes beckon, as do the groomed cross-country ski trails in the valley.  Here is a view of Whistler from Rainbow Park, where the sunshine through the frosty air created a misty view over Alta Lake.

After a full day outdoors we enjoy a view from home of sunset over Wedge Mountain.
