New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve has always been a favorite holiday of mine! This year, I couldn't wait to show Andrew the fabulous Whistler Resort! We opted to spend two nights in Vancouver and two in Whistler. We stayed at the lovely Fairmont Waterfront in Vancouver and enjoyed roaming around the old town district, shopping and dinner at the Top of Vancouver tower.




On Friday, we headed up to Whistler and stayed at Hotel Aava right in the village. It was just like I remembered from my college days! The snow was awesome and the atmosphere was bustling with New Year's energy! We had a wonderful ski day on the slopes and enjoyed the outdoor hot tub in the snow. 




Check out this crazy view from our Gondola.... the Peak 2 Peak Gondola has the longest unsupported lift span in the world... not for the faint of heart, but amazing views! 

New Year's Eve was spent at Ric's Grille in Whistler where we had an entertaining night between who we assumed was the owner "Ric" in a flamboyant getup and a musician who forgot to "ring in" the New Year with a proper countdown! A great time and great memories!



On our way out of Whistler, we stopped by the Whistler Olympic Park for a look:
