you would be crazy to not be skiing this weekend…. it is absolutely stunning out and everyone is uttering that perfect word in the mountains… “powder”
but i get it… after a couple days of mountain time… your legs are sore… and you need a break…
(please tell me it is not just me:))
also… if you are surrounded by little ones… they too need a break!
how about a little culture?
warm up with a warm drink and a walk through some of our amazing art galleries.
this is one of my kids favorite things to do… they always think it will be boring but once we start they love looking at the art/ sculptures/ photos… they ask a million questions and really get to experience the artwork. i also notice that they chat about it for days after… the creative resonates in them!
here are a list of galleries:

Dream Big
An art exhibition featuring Laura Harris, presented by the Adele Campbell Fine Art Gallery in Whistler
February 19th – March 5th 2011.
Intense. Honest. Beautifully Imperfect.
Laura has once again managed to capture not only the vibrancy and calm of the West Coast – but the way we actually feel when we spend time in these magical places. “ Dream Big” is a collection of richly textured canvasses, glistening with irresistible energy. This exhibition features Laura´s bold abstract landscapes, sweeping florals, and a few of her signature whimsical houses. As a fourth generation Victorian, Laura´s roots run deep on Vancouver Island, BC. Laura started showing her paintings early in the new millennium. Her first show was a sell out, followed by critical acclaim and many more successful shows.
The artist reception is Saturday, February 19, 2011, between 5-8pm at the Adele Campbell Fine Art Gallery in Whistler, located at the Shops at the Westin Resort and Spa. The exhibition will be running from February 19th through to March 5th 2011. Exhibition is open to the public; admission is free.
