Lane and I just arrived back from our trip to Whistler. We had a great 7 days there.
The first night when we arrived, we were tired after our plane trip +2 hour drive to the Fairmont and just had drinks and appetizers at the bar.
The next day we did some shopping and scoped out the town. We had breakfast/brunch at Dubh Linn Gate, which was great. We went to the hot tub and pool then had a very nice dinner at Umberto.
On Monday, we purchased our lift tickets and got on the hill after having lunch at Beet Root. The trails at Whistler are so long, we were exhausted after about 4 hours. We headed to the pool and hot tub (as we did every day). That night we wanted a more low key dinner at Caramba.
We were really sore the next morning, but we hit the slopes again anyway. We ate lunch at the top of Whistler at Christine's. It was cozy with a beautiful view. The couple next to us was doing shots....wow! We traversed the mountain for a few hours and retreated once again to the hot tub and pool. We had dinner at Bavaria a fondue and schnitzel house. They even put bacon in the sauerkraut. We tried to watch a movie and almost made it to the end.
Wednesday we hit the slopes via the peak to peak gondola and had lunch while skiing Whistler at Chic Peas cabin. Good greek salads and soup. We did the mountain a few times and headed down to apres cocktails and more r and r. An all irish dinner was had at the Dublin so Eric could have a black and tan. Shots of sambuco finished the night. We watched the new James Bond movie almost to the end!
Thursday we took a break from the mountain and went dog sledding/mushing. An interesting experience to say the least. We had brunch at the Creperie and an awesome dinner at Rim Rock Cafe. We loved the oyster's Rasputin and sticky toffee pudding.
On our last full day in Whistler, we decided to try cross country skiing at the 2010 Olympic site. We had a quick meal of chili using all compostable/recyclable containers/implements. The spoons lacked a lot to be desired as they have a tendency to splinter. That evening we went on a sleigh ride and ate a fondue at the Chalet.
