Today we took the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler. Except for the Icefield Parkway, I think one of the most beautiful roads I've ever drove on. A lot of construction works along the road (because of the winter Olympics in 2010), but still a nice scenic drive.

The two main reasons of our visit: - It's our home snowboard resort (for next winter) - It has a grizzly bear habitat ( wiiiii) We drove up to North Vancouver and took the skyride to the top of Grouse Mountain.

This morning we had to be on Granville Island to take the pod pilot for our whale watching trip.

We always go snowboarding during the Christmas holidays and this year we decided to go to Kitzbühel, Austria. I hope there will be some snow, because I want to have a white Christmas. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. And actually I have to admit I already bought a christmas tree... I know, waaaaaaaaaay too early, but well, it's kinda cosy...
