26.07 Whistler

We’ve driven highway 99 or “sea to sky” today. As the name suggests, it goes from sea to the mountains. We met quite a few bikers on the way. It is almost as famous as route 66 in the USA. It’s very picturesque and fun to drive. It took us to Whistler. We played around with the idea to go snowboarding on the glacier. Alas, the weather conditions were not good enough. Tomorrow it is the last day on which the glacier is open for skiing. However it’s been so warm recently and not snowing for over 3 months so that the glacier will be closed till winter season.

Yet, we met a women with her daughter who had skis on her. We asked her whether she was going to ski. She told us she was on her way for a ski jumping practice and if we wanted we could come watch. We followed them and got the opportunity to watch their training in a special swimming pool. It was cool and a rare thing to see.
