The Final Days


Well, our time in Whistler is coming to an end. After 4 days of pretty good snowboarding (I even managed to land a pretty big backside 180 off a cat track!) today was the day when we headed off to Vancouver to pick up our Rent-a-Wreck.

Typically, as we couldn't get on the slopes today we walked down to pick up the greyhound with clear skies above us, and 5 in of fresh. I don't think it stayed that way though, so that's some sort of compensation.

Van was wet, as we were told it pretty much has been all the way through January. Still, we managed to find our way down Hornby Street to the Rentawreck offices, and got a nice shiny Saturn. Ugly little blighter, but it'll do the job! The only problem now was jumping into a strange car, with a new traffic system, in the middle of downtown Vancouver. Still, we managed to find our way through, and out of Vancouver, and made it into Whistler with few problems.

We'll be heading off some time over the weekend. I think we're having a day trip to Bralorne first, then heading off towards Kelowna. I shall be in touch from the road at some point!
