ATV spells FUN

Friends were in Whistler for the weekend, and it was a blast showing them around town and pretending I was a tourist for a change.

We decided to do a morning ATV adventure with Canadian Snowmobile Adventures. Unfortunately, this was when the weather was still cold (have been hearing it called "June-uary") so we had to add some extra layers, including full rain gear.

After a few practice laps in a parking lot, we headed up the cat tracks, similar to the snowmobile route in the winter. Although not as fun as tearing around through the woods in Nova Scotia, we all had a good time and even saw a few teenage black bears grazing on the ski trails.

Just before the Crystal Hut, we had to drive over fresh snow, and my right thumb, the one used for the gas trigger, was so cold I thought it was going to fall off.

Inside, there was a breakfast feast of the Crystal Hut's legendary waffles and toppings, yummy bacon, and lots of hot drinks to warm up.

Would highly recommend this morning adventure for anyone visiting Whistler, and hopefully you end up with our guide, Ty, as he was really great.
