Whistler Day

February 21st, 2010 by Hala Dehais

Another early morning today, with a 5:00 am start in order to board the Alberta Train from Vancouver to Whistler.  Met incredible people on the Alberta Train today from our German friends as well as many other travel partners and media.

We also got to witness our first Olympic event today.  The women’s super G.  The course was tough and 15 skiers were not able to finish the track.  Even though a couple of Canadian skiers were in that number, it was still incredible to watch Brydon and Ruben ski.  It was a tight race between the top three and kept me curious right until the end.

Once the event was over we walked down the hill very carefully in our cowboy boots as it was a bit slippery.  We were able to enjoy lunch on an outdoor patio at the winter Olympics and explore Whistler village.

In Whistler, the streets were very busy and everyone had a statement to make.  Whether it was the Aussies, the Americans or the Cowgirls we all had a story to tell.
