So we spent a week in Whistler, Canada skiing/snowboarding and catching up with our friend "Bek" from the "Hunter Valley"... It was a really cute little village perfectly set up for snow sports EXCEPT FOR THE FACT IT WAS TOO COLD FOR SNOW!!! Yeah we timed our stay perfectly for a couple of days of powder then we got heart-breaking, bone-chilling, eye-watering cold weather, on the last day we went up the mountain it was -25 degrees celcius.... my eyes literally froze to my contact lenses, and I gave up and went home for a warm spa bath instead (actually jug of beer with Becky)! Brave Sammy stayed up for a couple more hours and managed to get frostbite on his cheeks and nose....
We arrived in Seattle for their snowstormy weather- the city was in chaos and thousands of people were without power for days because all the snow that we should have got in Whistler decided to go to northern USA instead.... so our first couple of days of the road trip were a lot of wet weather, and crazy road conditions, including flood waters, landslides and fallen trees.... so we didn't last long in Washington and Oregon before high-tailing it down to sunny California...

The bridge of DOOM which we should never have gone over...
we got lost, there were land slides, there were like 4 different roads that had trees fallen down on them... ahhhh... first day of the road trip what do you expect right?! |
