For my birthday weekend, Andy surprised me with a weekend trip to Canada. Downtown Vancouver is one of our favorite places to visit during the holidays, but since we went to San Francisco in December Andy thought it'd be nice to go for my birthday. Indeed, it was. Not only did we spend time in the city, but we also went snowshoeing at Lost Lake Park in Whistler and had après ski in the Village.
Parking was plentiful in Lot 5 just before 10 am on Sunday. We purchased our trail pass and made our way down to the Molly Hogan trail which takes you around the lake. The trail was very well groomed. So much so that we probably didn't need snowshoes that day!

In addition to Molly Hogan, we took the Donkey Punch trail (LOL). Trails go across cross country ski trails. I want to try cross country skiing one day.

| Hi Andy! |

All in all it took us 1 hour, 45 minutes to finish. Afterwards, we dropped our snowshoes off at the car and walked over to Whistler Village for a light lunch and window shopping. What a perfect day!
