Adventure In Whistler B.C.

 During our visit to Vancouver, we made sure that we joined a tour to visit Whistler in British Columbia. We drove for almost two hours north west of Vancouver through the Sea to Sky Highway route. We drove through never ending lakes and mountains all the way to Whistler. When we reached our destination, we toured the village with its mostly ski and summer sports shops, restaurants and hotels. But our most adventurous experience was the gondola ride to reach the Whistler Mountain peak that is about over 7,100 ft top elevation. The gondola ride to the peak took about 30 minutes in itself. Then we were excited to try the new Peak to Peak Gondola ride which travels from the peak of Whistler Mountain across the valley below to reach the  Blackcomb Mountain which is over 7,494 ft top elevation. Both mountains are famous for winter skiing sports and was the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics. When we reached the top, it was cold, magical and was like heaven on earth. Then like a miracle, suddenly the snow fell on the peak. It was like being in winter wonderland while the snow fell and moving on top of the trees and being so close to the sky. When we returned back to land, we explored the village and discovered pristine rivers with flowing water so clean and  the air is so clean. Whistler is a natural gem that is worth to visit regardless of the season.
