Whistler walkies

This weekend we had a ladies walking trip in Whistler, while the boys hit the slopes.

The four of us - me, Cathy, Sarah & Jess - set out on a three hour hike around Lost Lake. There was some snow, but not enough to warrant snow shoes, so we survived in just our hiking boots & hats/mittens (it was freezing at -10).

The lake itself was iced over and people were bravely using it as a skating rink. We also found (not made) this cute looking igloo. Kudos to whoever spent hours building it.


On route home, we stopped off at a friend's house to chop down a Christmas tree for Cathy and Dan's new home (very Canadian). Only Dan hadn't thought through the logistics about how we'd transport the tree itself back to their house...

We ended up with four of us in the car, along with a 10 foot tree. It smelt refreshing, although the prickily pine needles in your eyes wasn't so nice.

And what a tree it was! A 'Charlie Brown' is the only way to describe this thing...check it out:





What a beauty!
