| Cross country skiing off leash |
Now for a fun post: I cannot believe we haven’t been to Callaghan Valley’s Olympic Nordic center (close to Whistler) before! We are super lucky because they have a cross country skiing area that allows off leash dogs (isn’t that the best idea?) and Whiskey ran her little pants off.

I’ve never tried cross country before, but it didn’t take too long to get the hang of things and I only fell twice going down some steeper sections. Thankfully, we didn’t need to worry about a dog on leash this first time (there are on-leash trails as well) because I still don’t have a clear idea of how to stop!

It looked like there were loads of locals out with their pups and lots of kids having fun. Whiskey loved zooming around the groomed trails and she spent most of her time trying to get us to throw snowballs (she even fetches them too). Her speed is just insane going up and down the runs, I think next time we need to bring some Vizsla friends!

The off leash section is large enough that it’s not too boring and it wasn’t very busy for such a beautiful day. We brought booties and a jacket for Whiskey but didn’t need to bother with them and she spent the rest of the day sleeping…success!!!

| What a playday! |
Too bad it’s not the cheapest activity (helps if you own your own skis) but I will be back for sure! I just wish our local hills would allow dogs too.
