We were not in a rush to get on the road today.  It is Thursday and we are not interested in doing Rush Hour at all.  We packed up the Mazda and hit the road about 11:20.  We had intended to put down the roof and drive the Sea to Sky in the sunshine.  Not happening today.  Rain in Pitt Meadows lessened to drizzle through Coquitlam, Burnaby and Vancouver.  Once past Horseshoe Bay we had sun and showers intermixed.

We arrived at our hotel about 2pm.  Had a bit of a rest before heading out to the village to wander about.

We are staying at the south end of Whistler Village, near the Convention Centre.  It is nice and close for us to walk into the village and back.  Once we are back, it will be quiet when we want quiet.  We have stayed right on the Village Stroll in the past and between 2 and 4 AM, sleeping is quite a challenge.  We should be good here.

Ski season is mostly done here in June, but we do pass some skiers heading back to their accommodation after a day on the high alpine slopes.

Whistler has done an amazing job transitioning from a winter resort to an all season resort.  Mountain biking is VERY popular.  Every other chair lift is reconfigured to carry the bikes, while the next chair carries the riders.  They then get a wild ride back down.  They are all decked out with heavy duty helmets, shin/knee pads and some with body armour.

We wandered about and decided it was happy hour and made our way back to the Longhorn Saloon.  Had a couple Corona’s and chicken wings.  $9.50 for each Corona and $15.00 for the wings!!  Wow.  😉
