In this 45 minute long epic, we follow one man fulfil his dream of going on a ski holiday without his family.
I used to live in Vancouver & Whistler, so I made a guide to two of my favourite places on earth as I visited for a 20 year reunion.
We flew with Air Canada and stayed in the Century Plaza Hotel in Vancouver: www.century-plaza.com
In Whistler we stayed in a delightful Airbnb: www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/386053...
We travelled from Vancouver to Whistler with Epic Rides ($35 / £20 return): epicrides.ca
On our Brewery Creek tap room crawl we visited...
Big Rock: bigrockbeer.com
Electric Bicycle: electricbicyclebrewing.com
R&B: www.randbbrewing.com
Brewhall: brewhall.com
Check out Score On Davie for the greatest Caesars known to man: scoreondavie.com
To book a table for the Fire & Ice show at the GLC click here: www.whistlerblackcomb.com/exp...
My new skis are the Elan Ripstick 96 (181cm) and are the best skis I've ever owned: www.elanskis.com/us-us/en_GB/...
Thanks for watching. If a ski holiday company wants to give us a holiday for next year, I'll make a movie an hour long.

Robbie, not sure if you’ll see this but wanted to pop you a note. I grew up watching you on Soccer AM and I’ve very fond memories. I just stumbled upon your channel this evening while relaxing after work (and playing some FM) and watched a few videos. Then I saw your Vancouver blog and loved all of it. I moved to vancouver years ago and have lived in multiple places but experienced a little squeal of delight as you walked past my old apartment on Haro street. I now live at the bottom of Davie street (a block from the beach) and just bought the whole family season passes to Seymour for this year to get my five and nine year old ski ready so we can go to Whistler and get pissed like and your mates. Great stuff and keep it up. Really happy I stumbled on this.

Recognise every bit of your video, down to the hot tubs, hotel rooms, pubs and ski runs. Good times, good memories. And to settle the argument, Tapleys nachos, because they were way cheaper than anything cooked on the mountain.

I think we're exactly the same age. I grew up in Vancouver and spent 2 years in London (94-96) before uni, so it was an odd mirror-experience watching this and knowing all your feelings and memories of that time in your life are tied up in the place I grew up, where all of mine are tied up in the UK. Anyway, nice. I miss the UK. Everyone was always shocked when I told them I was from Vancouver and I moved there. Most common reaction: "WHY?!" But the appeals of the place are very different and the cultural differences in that Goldilocks zone of 'just right' - foreign, but not so foreign you feel like an alien.

I am really sorry about your friend. It was clearly hard for you talking about him.

You would probably enjoy Red Mountain Resort and trip through the West Kootenays

@RobbieKnox 3 года назад

I've just looked it up - looks fantastic. The problem for us is likely to be travel time/cost as it's already a 9 hour flight to Vancouver, but could be nice as part of a bigger Canadian adventure.

@REDCEDAR7 3 года назад

The best way to get to the West Kootenays is to fly to Spokane in Eastern Washington it’s only 2.5 Hours from Spokane Airport to Rossland. From there you could travel to Nelson (Whitewater) then to Revelstoke and fly home from Calgary. There’s also a high concentration of Cat Skiing in this area.

@@RobbieKnox Chriss winter a legend local. Front flips into saudan couloir race Think the second trip the town was sad I noticed more substance abuse and the heavier side so it was sad . Locals where uncertain about the whole intrawest takeover and the boot pub was demolished. I always went the nuggetscrossing for shopping

@RobbieKnox 4 года назад
