Snapped some nice pics on the way from Whistler today
Edited on Fri Jan-02-09 11:52 PM by HEyHEY
Lions Bay a few minutes outside of Vancouver



The sea to Sky highway, that's the pacific ocean there... it's where Orcas play!



Those little balls in the air are full of people. It's the new peak to peak gondola at Whistler.



Unshaven, grouchy me at ... half past fuckin' early.

I mean, how often do the Olympics get this close?

10. There is ALWAYS a way around these things.
Plus, I don't need to see all the fancy stuff. I'd watch the biathlon or cross country skiing or something. I just want to say I went.

9. All the good stuff is gone
You had to sign up for a lottery. The first "draw" was last month. More ticket will go on sale later.

6. My dear HEyHEY...
Nice pics! Looks a bit cold, though...

That peak to peak ride must be awesome...

And you do NOT look grouchy, either!

:hi:

14. Really? I can't stand it
Too expensive and not very good runs. Next time you're in the area hit Big White near Kelowna, that's the best one.

Been to Vancouver at all?
