We spent 5 days of hiking and exploring Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains in beautiful British Columbia. About 5 hours north of home in Maple Valley, and north of the 50th parallel, we joined Nana Chris and Popa Jamie at Embarc Resort in the Upper Village. It was neat to see all of the 2010 Olympic statues, rings, and other important venues.
We purchased Peak-to-Peak passes and rode across in the Peak-to-Peak gondola from Whistler Mt. to Blackcomb Mt. The hiking on both mountains was limited due to snow amounts. The alpine hiking is better in August. We had a great time and can't wait to revisit.

I won gold, but had to get down to take the photo.
Deep, deep snow in late June.
