Whistler and Blackcomb - by Zak

Today we went to Blackcomb Mountain where we took a gondola up. Unfortunately the lifts up Blackcomb were closed so instead we went up it's neighbour Whistler. Then we took a second gondola called Peak 2 Peak to Blackcomb.
On the hike, there were lots of signs that showed types of plants and animals such as bears. After a two and a half km hike we reached Blackcomb Lake where we took lots of photos and tested the freezing water. We also found the valley echoed really well. We were almost out of time to get back before the last gondola went so we rushed down.
When we got to the bottom we went to a cool sweet shop.

    Great Blog post Zak. And love the pics. You all look very rugged up...is it very cold at Whistler? Give Auntie Leanne a birthday hug from me. :-)
