Went to Whistler BC for a few days with kids during their mid winter break from school. The weather was a bit of a disappointment when we first arrived. There wasn't much snow, and it was raining in the village, therefore, we opted to walk the village, take in some sights, and ice skate at the new skate rink in the village. The main village path is a meandering and winding brick lane, flanked by endless ski clothing shops, restaurants, and souvenir trinkets. At night, the trees are lighted, and it looks like a winter wonderland. We stayed in a condo at the "clock tower" (pictured below). It's about 50 yards from the chair lift and in the heart of the village.  |

The next two days were partly sunny, and fantastic skiing. The great news is.... Nate learned to ski!! He took two days of ski lessons with a 78 year old instructor! ...Our last day of skiing was epic snow conditions. We awoke to 6" of new snow, the village looked like a post card of Santa's Village, and the snow continued to fall all day, accumulating about 12" of snow by days end. Skiing in "fresh powder" is an understatement. After a 6-7 minute chair lift, we'd look like disembarking snow men.
