6 days til christmas: take a winter snow trip

growing up in the prairies, i have never experienced a winter without snow.  a christmas without snow just doesn't feel like christmas.  for places on the coasts that don't experience snow, or much of it, i recommend visiting a snowy place before christmas to help get in the holiday spirit.  for those on the west coast, i definitely would suggest: whistler.

on my first and recent visit, i discovered what a great and unique village whistler is and all it has to offer.  besides the obvious snowboarding and skiing attractions, there are plenty of shops to finish your christmas shopping in, a large variety of restaurants and some great coffee shops to grab hot chocolate and warm up in.  and of course a lot of olympic memorabilia, that make for great pictures!
