On Saturday, January 26, 2019, we went on a trip to Whistler,British Columbia. It is an epicentre for skiing, snowboarding and many other fun activities as it has one of the largest ski resorts in North America.

It was also a venue for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

We started the journey by leaving from the downtown campus at 9 a.m. via private bus. On the way there were so many beautiful scenic views from the highway. The students were amazed by the beauty of the
mountains, but they had more amazing things coming. The road trip takes about 2 hours, so we reached Whistler at 11 a.m. Students became excited as many of them saw snow for the first time. We took a group picture. Then, we headed
towards the ticket centre and got the tickets for the Peak 2 Peak  Gondola. To get to the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, we needed to first go to the Blackcomb Gondola, which takes us to the Blackcomb Mountain, and takes about 18 minutes to reach. The best part of that is when it goes through the clouds. After heading to Blackcomb Mountain, we had lunch and took some pictures. Then we went to the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, which is from Blackcomb Mountain to Whistler Mountain. Students were awestruck with the beautiful view from the Peak 2 Peak Gondola. It took around 11 minutes to reach Whistler Mountain. After reaching there, we went to the famous Olympic rings, where students and student assistants posed for a picture. The view from the mountain was gorgeous. We returned to Blackcomb Mountain by Peak 2 Peak Gondola and went back to the bus station. We left Whistler at 4:30 p.m. and reached downtown campus at 6:30 p.m.

The students loved the trip, as the weather was nice,  they had fun in the mountains, and saw the amazing view from about 7,000 ft high.
