Anyone Want to Cool Off?


I don't know about where you are, but it has been hot here. I mean HOT! It isn't even summer yet and I keep thinking how nice it would be to see some snow. I never thought I'd say that! So, I have been looking at cool places. While they aren't exactly tropical, they sure sound like paradise on a day like today.

One really cool (literally) place I found is called Whistler Mountain in Canada. Apparently this. as well as another called Blackcomb, has been ranked the number one ski resort in North America. I have never been skiing, but it looks like a lot of fun. Too fun to even think about being cold.

Whistler averages 30 feet of snow per year! I don't know if I could deal with that much snow, but it sounds like a nice trip to get away from the heat. So, now that a beautiful, snowy destination has been found, the next step is to locate a nice Whistler accommodation. This isn't too hard to do either.

Just a quick search on the Holiday Whistler website shows me my dream home--an incredible log cabin. I have always wanted to live in a log cabin. However, I can settle for a nice vacation in one. Of course, there are lots of other options too. What would you think of a Whistler condo that allows you to ski in and out? Or how about a giant 10-bedroom house that will allow you to vacation with everyone you know? Wow, I don't think I have ever seen a 10-bedroom house.

So, my favorite property on this site is the Mountain Star 4. This is a beautiful house with three bedrooms. It sleeps six, which is perfect for my family. The decor is amazing and the best part is the private hot tub. Talk about paradise!

So if you are getting tired of the heat already, check out the great escapes to Whistler Mountain in Canada. It is a beautiful place to cool off.
