One truck, 4 friends, lots of skis and Olympic fever! Here's a little update of our Vancouver trip last week. I'll try to write more later...

(yes Mel and I both got gold medals for being being awesome ;)
We started the trip in Seattle for a day and a half, took a ferry to Bainbridge and explored what part of Seattle we could in our short time. Monday we were off to Vancouver where we got to ski Whistler, see a USA-Norway hockey game, a few medal cermonies and concerts which included Matisyahu and Feist (would not recommend the later..SO boring!) The streets were filled with Olympic fever. I've never been to Mardi Gras, but I imagine it was similar except for all over the city. Canadians are so friendly and we found such great people up there! The only down part to the trip was getting to any on-hill events. They closed the canyons from 6 a.m. - 6p.m. daily, so our whistler treck started at 4:00 a.m.! I haven't paid for skiing in years, but it was 110% worth every penny! Whistler is such an amazing resort and we just happened to get up there after a storm which dropped about 10 inches of fresh snow. The trip ended with another ski day at Mt. Baker 2 hr.s south of the Canadian border in Washington...State. 30 + hr's of driving, 4 states, 2 countries, 2 ski resorts and a whole lotta foreigners= a great trip! (More pics to come...)
