First and foremost you guys rock!! You awarded me the last set of beat-the-box-office tickets last friday, and I just want to say thank you so much. It was my birthday a few days later…..and I’m still walking on air over a week later. You have made my year! I grew up skiing here, and this is so going to be the coolest thing I have EVER done here BY FAR.

In regards to your rents coming, I have a few suggestions. Harbour Air Flight (in Whistler preferrably Joffrey Lakes need I say more…but from Van to Victoria is phenominal, from personal experience). Helijet to or from Victoria…again completely different from the float plane (either, on a sunny day is almost surreal). If you’re on the island, you should definitely drive up the coastline and hop over to Denman and Hornby Islands. They’re both small artisan islands (pottery, artwork, GREAT fishing, beautiful secluded beaches). And the treasures you find there are amazing.

As for North(ish) definitely Banff, through Cache Creek and Lilloett. The Okanagan (fabulous wineries lakes, BEER), down through Kamloops. Some of the local produce and preserves are AMAZING. And you can do a loop right back to Whistler.

Sorry, BC born and bred. What can I say??!!
