Last weekend we were invited to go to our friends place in Whistler.
Apparently Whistler broke a record this month: Snowiest Month Ever. Sounded promising!
The slopes where open and we were definitely ready for the start of the season. I couldn't wait to try my new board.
We had an amazing time (and that means all three of us)! Kris and I went snowboarding and a dog walking company took Grizzly and Harvey out for a day hike.
Pretty amazing. They went back country hiking with 4 other dogs. So they were exhausted when they came back.
Anyway, I don't feel like writing a lot so enjoy the pictures...

I feel like I have to start all my blog posts with: "I'm sorry we've been so busy we didn't really have time to write something on our blog..."

We started of getting some basic instructions about stances, braking, steering,...
After that we did some trails,...

We also did a short day trip to Whistler where we visited the Olympic skijump and biathlon area. At the Biathlon shooting range you could try out a biathlon rifle and shoot at the targets. Ine beat me with a perfect 5/5 score against my less perfect 4/5. I had a bad bullet... On our way we saw 2 bears (see previous post for picture)....

A couple of pictures for you to enjoy! The bear picture was taken on Sunday, the other ones are a little bit older (you can tell because there is still snow on the mountains).
Credits go to Kris of course:).

Sorry guys, but we have been extremely busy lately.
I have been preparing the Christmas event last week so I really didn't have the time to write something.
On Thursday it was the night of the event. I have to say that we did a wonderful job and that we received some nice compliments. We offered people a glass of wine and some appetizers. Unbelievable to see how people respond on the word "free". People become animals (well maybe that's just a little bit exaggerated, but still...).
Like I said, we offered people one glass of wine (because we were working with a really low budget, and this was mentioned...
