Seattle | Whistler | Vancouver

 

At the end of February, Andrew and I traveled to the Pacific Northwest to snowboard with Deborah. We snowboarded at Stevens Pass and Whistler Blackcomb and could not put into words how much better the snow is out West. Amazing would be an understatement when describing the views on the mountain. We experienced some of the best snowboarding conditions ever and also contemplated how we would even think about boarding at Ski Liberty or Whitetail. I think Whistler is the best place to snowboard in North America, although, I do have a lot more resorts to visit. I’m thankful I was able to see Deborah and that we managed to travel right before COVID-19 hit. Wash your hands, wear a mask, do your part, and stay safe!
