We flew into Vancouver on January 17 and enjoyed the incredible scenery on the shuttle that took us from the airport to the resort. The road to Whistler is known as the "Sea to Sky Highway" and the scenery is simply incredible.
We stayed at the Adara Hotel right in Whistler Village. The Adara is a small hotel with contemporary furnishings and very friendly staff. We were able to walk from the hotel in our ski-boots to the lifts at the base of the mountain.
Unfortunately, we happened to be in Whistler for "College Weekend" so the village stayed hopping (and noisy) until early in the morning. The music from the club/bar near the hotel kept thumping until 2:30 or three in the morning and drunk college students whooped and hollered on the sidewalk below our room even after that.
We joined Cousin Janet Carswell and her husband Geoff Gagan and Janet's son Mats Bosinger, and Janet's mother (my aunt) Gwenyth Horner for Sushi at Sushi Village on Saturday night (January 19). We had a great time getting to know Geoff and Mats and catching up with Janet and Gwen. (Janet's husband Rob Bosinger passed away unexpectedly a few years ago and Janet recently married Geoff.) Mats is already three years old.
4 Beavers for Adara (we could have done without the noise)
4 Beavers for Whistler Resort (if you could combine the scenery at Whistler with Utah snow, it would be an easy 5).
5 Beavers for the incredible scenery.
5 Beavers for Grandma. She's the best.

Sounds fun! Speaking of Utah, the snow is fabulous right now with much more on the way. We have at least a couple of feet outside our front door. Remember our house is always open to skiiers! James, Noah and Dave enjoyed night skiing at Brighton last weekend, along with the 8th ward scout troop that Dave is the fearless leader of! The temp when they left that night was 2 degrees.
Sounds like a great time! I hope we can ski there sometime, now that we will be Northwesterners!
Looks like a lot of fun!! Maybe Cahty can give me a ski lesson sometime.
