Happy New Year 2009 from Whistler
Happy New Year, Wandermom readers!
For this Photo Friday post, I’m sharing photos taken just today at Whistler, B.C. Enjoy!
CAM and BigB with maps of the mountain, planning the day’s activities – while Mom and Dad waited in line to pick up our EDGE Cards. Available to residents of Washington State and Canada, get excellent discounts on lift tickets and shopping uses these passes.
CAM and BigB on the Whistler Village gondola, smiles all around!
WanderMom and her boys on Blackcomb after traversing from Whistler to Blackcomb on the newly-opened Peak-to-Peak gondola (that’s the red, over-sized gondola car just at the top right of the photo).
I’m a little tickled as I show these snow-laden photos since Debbie’s own Photo Friday post today is all about warm weather. Two Seattlites, both moms, two totally different holiday trips. I’m also looking forward to see what travel and/or holiday photos other Photo Friday regulars share for this first weekly round-up of 2009.

Great pictures! You looked like you had so much fun!
Looks like a lot of fun!!
You guys look so cute. But I’m with Debbie—-enough with the cold weather now!
We spent a few days in Whistler a couple of years ago and the kids loved it – it’s certainly a family friendly resort
I am having cold flashbacks. So are the great deals everyone is predicting? Are the slopes less crowded? I want to go this year.
Have a great time!
I, on the other hand, am quite jealous of the snow you’re all enjoying! It’s quite brown here in Detroit this time of year, and I’m just itching to be able to go out cross country skiing…
Looks like you had a great time on your ski trip.
OMG - that photo of the kids on the gondola is priceless!
I love Whistler! It’s been ages since I have been there….
Hi everyone – yes, we had a great time in Whistler – just back in Seattle today. I’ll be checking out your Photo Friday posts this evening
@Meg, yes, there are good deals to be had. We used Priceline.com to book our hotel and got a 4-star room just steps from the gondolas for < 50% of the published room rate. Also, the slopes are definitely less crowded than this same time last year. I’ll be adding some posts this week on the trip overall, so you can watch out for those.
