Our first time was at Whistler Blackcomb with we had a blast doing it with Whistler heli ski
At first it was rough getting used to the way the chopper came in to land. We had to cuddle into a ball and wait for the chopper to come in inches away from us this was scary. At the same time it was exciting. When we left the ground it was not so bad.
From there it was on we did for runs with lunch on the mountain we had a great time when you fall you laugh. The only problem is you will fall in love so if you don't have a way for your pockets to keep up already then find one fast. life is short play hard.

VA Tech Shooting
I know this is off topic but it need to be said.What happened a VA Tech has me at a lost for words.First I would like to address the family to whom I turn to in there time and say. I'm so sorry for your loss I sorry this happened to you or anybody for that matter. There is no need for something like this take place under our nose without
warning. What do we teach our kids about other people. In this case it was not about the jock or popular people. This was about Rich and Poor how can this happen and no one notice. That is the question people will be asking did we learn nothing from the past
or is the answer in our future well it seems that way.So lets not let the lost of these Young Adults not be use for fuel for change.We must do something The answer is within our grasps.

Riding The river bed At whistler
First I would like to say sorry for not having picture's to go with this story but the battery was dead.This was the funniest thing I every did except Heliboarding.We rented for Whistler vacations and because we advertise for them trevor the owner Showed us the mountain. We started by going peak to creek then cutting of tho the right down bagel bowl then hit route 86 for few seconds then we drop out of bounds into trees that lead us to a river bed full of snow. it was like being on a roller coaster with sharp turns My brother in law Ronnie fell in a hole about 5 foot deep and we had to pick him up off the river bed floor. from there we kept riding on an angle to the left and pop back onto peak to creek it was great and we learned a lot.
We would like to thank Trevor who owns Whistler vacations and whistler lodging.
The lodging was even better then we ever could have imagine.
PS Don't try this yourself you need radios and GPS would also be nice to have. If you like You can get a guide to show you the river bed.
