Winter Wonderland

Though it's late (only slightly) I decided to do a post about my adventure to Canada in February. So two months ago my family and I hoped on board a plane and flew from the rural island life we know of to the snowy mountains of the unknown,also called,Whistler,Canada.

Our 10 days consisted of a mixture of skiing and spa-ing. Everyday after a tough full day of skiing the snowy and undoubtably gorgeous mountains. Full of top speed racing and endless jumps and tricks,we returned to the village,where the over-helpful Four Seasons staff came and took our skis and poles and led us to the shuttle bus which took us back to our hotel. At the hotel we ended up everyday getting into the routine of putting on our swim stuff and robes and headed down to the heated outdoor pools,getting a hot chocolate or two on the way! The pool is indescribable and there are 3 hottubs and a spa and gym to say the least. Everyone is so social and friendly and all the Canadians welcome you with open arms and there are tons of Auzzies who's accents are adorable! One of my favourite things about the hotel other than when we first arrived to 'Welcome' cookies and sweets in our room,was the evening s'mores station. As your average Brit,I'd never had s'mores before and for all you who haven't lost their s'mores virginity,here's the 411. S'mores are roasted marshmallows,placed inside 2 Graham Crackers with chocolate inside. They are absolute HEAVEN and by far my new favourite food! My favourite experience was Husky Sledging which is a once in a lifetime experience. I was privelleged enough to get to care a feed huskys,i also got to ride ina sledge pulled by them and man the sledge! At the end we came back to a warm Canadian hut for cider and cookies.Anyway I would definetly recommend going to Canada to absolutey everyone, it's a great experience for all types of people.
