Having never really spent any time in Pemberton (although heaps in Whistler) I thought a weekend to explore this valley was in order. After scoping out the ten or so B&B's in Pemberton, we chose Auberge.

Rooms were a little smaller than I've…More »

First off, thank you Chelsea S who tipped me off to this incredible bakery.

The open concept, the rustic, yet contemporary, island where the baking happens, the plugs on the customer side of the counter (for wifi I assume) and the bottle of Schramm…More »

With slim pickings in a town of 2500, I was happy to find the Pony. In fact, driving into town my "ah ha, that's where it's at" spidy senses went off and there was no stopping me!

It was alive and kicking on a Friday night, with playoff hockey (we…More »

Did I really accept the challenge of their beer sampler? At $17.99 it seemed like a deal, and it was. Only problem, I'm a lightweight -- actually, I might go by the nickname "half pint" in some circles. But I just couldn't refuse the tray of brews,…More »

Blustery, gusty and windy, baton-down-the-hatches style!

With quads a burning, I sit here safe and sound at home after what was an epic climb to summit the Chief's first peak. Just kidding, it's not as hard as the Grind, in my humble opinion, however,…More »

My judgment is clouded. Every time on my way to Buffalo Bills I dread it. The douches. The cougars. The stags. The stagettes. But every time, without fail, I have a good time.

So what makes for a good time at Buffalo Bills? Here's my alphabet soup…More »

One of my secret little obsessions. For some reason I can't help but stop in for some candy. I know that there's similar fare at places in Vancouver, I know it's ridiculously overpriced, but there's just something my sweet tooth can't resist here.…More »

For where and what it is, it's okay. It's expensive for what it is, but for where it is, it's a reasonable restaurant. The staff seems a bit uppity, a bit uninterested but they do their jobs.

I've had their grilled calamari a number of times…More »

I am generally hard on sushi places: they've got to be fresh, friendly, offer standard and interesting combinations of flavours and still be decent value.

For Whistler, Sachi is decent. If I were craving sushi and just had to have it, I would come…More »
