This past weekend INTERNeX went on a trip to Sasquatch Mountain and it was sooo much fun!!
Our journey began Friday afternoon when we left Vancouver by car. The drive was actually quite enjoyable because the sun was shining, it was super warm and we were listening to music with the windows down – the perfect summer vibes! 😄 We arrived at our cabin in the evening and there was still snow everywhere!! Luckily the roads were free, but there was still snow all around! We made dinner and then took a short walk around the mountain resort through the snow. And…. we had our own hot tub! It was on our balcony, so you could literally see the mountains from the hot tub. Of course we had to use this awesome opportunity and spent the evening in the hot tub and playing games.
On Saturday we decided to head down the mountain, since we had our own car, and we went to the Harrison Tulip Festival! It’s not really accessible from Vancouver, so it was absolutely awesome that we were able to go there now! The festival was sooo beautiful! There was huge fields full of tulips and this definitely made for some really awesome pictures! The weather was also super nice, the sun was shining and it was honestly really warm.
After that we headed to Agassiz for lunch and then to Harrison Hot Springs where some of us went on a short hike. We also walked along the water which was just super beautiful. The village is right by Harrison Lake, so the views were honestly breathtakingly gorgeous! We had some ice cream too and then we headed back to our cabin to make dinner, play games and of course relax in our hot tub!
Our original plan for Sunday was to go to the hot springs in Harrison Hot Springs, but unfortunately they didn’t have public access to the pools for some reason… So instead we headed back towards Vancouver and stopped in Abbotsford to have lunch and we also decided to walk around Mill Lake. We also sat by the lake and played some more games lol! We arrived back in Vancouver around 5:30pm.
Overall, the trip was definitely a success because it was just so much fun! :DD The weather this trip was also… interesting to say the least lol – we started with 20° and sunshine, went into the snow at our cabin, the next day it was sunny again, but started to rain a little bit in the evening, on the mountain it was SNOWING at night and in the morning, at the Harrison Hot Springs it was pouring rain and then in Abbotsford and Vancouver it was cloudy and warm again… So there’s really no way you could’ve packed properly for this trip haha!
Also: to the guy whose car didn’t work at the tulip festival: I hope you got out of there somehow lol!
Toodles and… good Luck!

For those of us who went to Cypress last Saturday, we had a fantastic time skiing down the snowy slopes!  It was quite foggy in the morning and early afternoon so I couldn’t see where I was going (which really made it difficult)  but the first run I went on was green so it wasn’t that bad. And when I was first going up, I was dreading the fall after the lift chair but I actually didn’t (which really surprised me). As I was going down, I kept slowing down some of the people so I felt really bad but it was still so much fun. After couple of hours, everyone met up at the Cypress Creek Lodge cafeteria for lunch and we took a really nice break. As we were eating and chatting, everyone agreed to go up to the Peak together. I was so scared because I actually haven’t been up there wasn’t sure if I’d make it down alive! But they convinced me by telling me that there would be a really nice view to take photos.  When we got up to the Peak, it was still foggy so unfortunately I couldn’t see the amazing view they were talking about… but I did get awesome photos and the snow there was much better than the lower parts of the mountain! I also loved how we would wait for each other during certain points so that no one would get left behind or getting lost.
Speaking of getting lost, Ilse and I somehow managed to do just this. We went down a different path and ended up almost going off a seriously steep hill (even some of the pro skiers who were standing beside us were contemplating on whether or not they should go down this way). After much consideration, Ilse and I both decided it was best to hike back up and go down the other way (which we should have taken). Even though it was such a pain to hike back up in our ski/board gear, Ilse and I were laughing so much. We really found this whole situation hilarious and after much struggle, we made it back down without a problem. The others were waiting at the bottom all worried, oops!
What?
