It doesn't matter how many times I go out to the west coast of Vancouver Island, I'm always amazed at the raw beauty of our natural wonders. It was even more evident as seen recently through the eyes of our two English guests who while well travelled, seemed totally delighted with everything British Columbia had to offer. Of special interest to one was the old growth forest and the other the expansive and tantalizing beach.
So they are both coming back, one to explore our coastal rainforests and the other to body surf all summer long.

Yesterday I finally had the pleasure to ride down the
Peak to Creek run in Whister. The run starts at the top of Whistler mountain. The sun was shining and the views were spectacular. People were stopping to take pictures everywhere. The ride down was perfectly groomed and moderately difficult (a blue run). There were very few people on the run and I was flying down the seven kilometer long, covering about 1500 meters of vertical. I was all by myself, with
DJ Tiesto cranked on my iPod. As I was going down, I had one of these "it doesn't get any better than this moments" everybody should have once in a while. Stopping only once to take this picture, I think I was down at Dusty's pub in about 10 or 15 minutes. Nobody will be able to take this moment away from me.
