I couldn't keep Leafe & Lauren out of the trees. Tons of deep powder and fresh tracks in there.

Skiing Whistler - First Day


For Spring Break, we flew into Vancouver from Beijing and rented a Ford for the scenic drive up to Whistler.

The Ford expedition with vomit on the window from Leafe after driving the winding roads. I think he was still a little weak from the 11hr plane trip.

A few scenic pictures from the highway drive up to Whistler.




First day skiing at the top of the Mountain. The first day was blue sky, the rest of the time we had tons of snow.

Sleeping too early after the first day skiing & Jet lag. We were all up at 3AM in the morning the first night.
