![It had been 691 days since I’d done any big-mountain skiing. And with international travel still a no-no, the only way we were going to get back to the biggies was to head out to western Canada. Between some stealth planning behind my husband’s back and an @epicpass for the 2021/22 ski season, we landed — kid-free — in Whistler last week. It was our first time skiing @whistlerblackcomb, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Some runs took us 40 minutes to complete from peak to base, without stopping to rest.
•
But rest OFF the slopes, we did. Our six magical days in the Fitzsimmons Range of the Coast Mountains turned out to be so much more than just a ski trip. It was a chance to briefly remember what life used to be like. A glimpse of the kind of normal we’ll have again soon. The chance to reconnect with my husband who has been everything a partner should be (and more) during the most challenging time of our lives. An opportunity to just be me for the first time in nearly two years — not a mom, chef or chauffeur. Stay tuned for more about @gowhistler, the Peak to Peak gondola and other great adventures to help you plan your own phenomenal getaway.
