We may just be starting to feel the cool breeze of autumn blowing through Seattle, but snowboard season is fast approaching. I am already looking at the calendar to see when we can get back up to Whistler. Dek should be able to start ski lessons. I can finally strap on my board and fall down the mountain again.
But what to do with Ty and Dek when we aren’t on the slopes?

Last season I got to explore the quieter side of Whistler snow activities. As a very pregnant woman and mother of a 2-year-old that wasn’t quite ready for a snowboard or skis we explored the village, made our own snow fun on a tiny mound of the white and fluffy stuff, ate some delectable crepes and took in a fire and ice show.
