Whistler is a great place to visit, especially if you’re a tourist. There’s lots of shopping, food and a different way of live 2 hours by bus north of Vancouver. I went up to visit my brother and to catch one of the paralympic events at the Whistler Olympic Park<\/a>. We had free tickets to the men’s and women’s cross-country (sitting)<\/a> event. Even though it was a bit of an adjustment to the cold, being a part of the paralympic games was great! I was worried about the cold, but with a 1.5km walk from where the bus dropped us off to the venue warmed us up pretty quick! Plus it helped me to wake up after getting up at 5am to catch the bus up to the resort town – this photo was the view I saw in between my naps while on the new sea-to-sky highway.<\/p>\n

My advice for Whistler in the winter would be to make sure to ski\/snowboard when you’re there. It’s the best way to ‘experience’ what Whistler has to offer!<\/p>\n
