Whistler Day 3

It’s Christmas in Canada. We brought a few presents for everyone. We started a fire and opened gifts in our jammies. It was quiet and cozy. I’ve been asked many times “would you do it again?” Yes, we all agreed, we’d do it again.

Later in the morning, we headed out for a wilderness adventure snowmobile tour. The ride lasted about four hours and was amazing. We started about 30 minutes from our hotel on the pacific side of the mountain range. Because they have more moisture, they had 25 ft of snow. It was staggering how deep it was.

They took us up the mountain through winding trails that are mostly machine groomed. The higher up we got, the heavier the snow came down. At the top is a small bowl shaped area were we could play with the snowmobiles in the deep stuff. We’d ride up one side, turn and race down. Half the hood was under the snow; it was hard to see at times. Several people didn’t follow directions on where to ride and they got stuck. You could hardly see the sled. It’s was so cool! I wish could have stayed longer.
