It had been years since I was up there, and wow it had changed. It was really neat to see all of the new developments as a result of the Olympics, and brought me back to watching the events on TV.
One thing that has not changed in Whistler is the decadence of the cinnamon buns that I tried to resist when living there 10 years ago. The name of the cafe has changed, but not those beautiful buns! (Can't actually remember the name now, but it's across from the Chateau Whistler)...worth hunting down!
We went up there to take advantage of a discounted spa visit at the Scandinave Spa. It consists of a variety of baths and pools, showers, a steam room and a sauna beautifully set amongst the mountains and some high end (and high priced no doubt) foliage. It was incredibly relaxing and invigorating moving from hot to cold, shocking my body like that - sounds crazy but it felt great!
Three words came to mind while I was chilling out between plunges in the solarium: creativity (was how I felt at the moment staring at the negative space of an abstract tree) restraint (was what I had to practice in order to abide by the no talking rule) and darn it, I forget the last one...rats.
It was an all around great weekend with great food and awesome friends.
Here are a few shots to prove it...
