Shop & Ski in Whistler
Nestled between the ocean and the mountains is the gorgeous town of Whistler, British Columbia.
This Canadian jewel is known mostly for its skiing and is home to the 2010 Olympics.
Beyond the beautiful scenery and snowy ski slopes is Whistler Village containing a variety of shops to interest anyone.
There are a fair share of typical ski shops selling warm jackets, snow pants, and ski boots, but further exploration of the village will bring shoppers into several hipper shops.
The first store I discovered was the popular Canadian brand Lululemon Athletica.
Known for its functional but trendy women's workout clothes, I found myself in a sea of shoppers in the otherwise quiet village.
After a few minutes of browsing the selection, I began to see why.
The store is packed full with enough styles of workout pants, bras, and tops to satisfy any gym rat.
I was interested in restocking my sports bra collection and grabbed a handful of bras that were available in multiple styles and an abundance of colors.
My favorite bra was a turquoise sports bra with removable padding.
The padding didn't make me any bustier, but provided more bounce protection than any sports bra I had yet to own.
I discovered one small shop that carried a variety of ultra-hip and super sparkly apparel.
Being a girl that loves anything that sparkles, I was instantly drawn into the store.
After a perusal of the racks, I walked out empty-handed.
Although the clothes were fun, the price tags weren't.
Nothing seemed unique enough to drop hundreds of dollars on.
I found my other purchase at a gift shop.
Not one to pass by any store that could possibly be carrying an item I could love, I walked into the gift shop expecting the usual tees with Whistler screen printed on them and not much else.
I was mostly right.
Yet, hidden in the back of the store was a light blue tee with a cartoon drawn of a 1950s photo of a slender dark-haired woman staring up at Whistler Mountain with her navy 50's ski outfit on.
Below the picture was the word Whistler sewn in cursive with bright red thread.
The laid-back simplicity of the adorable tee spoke to me more than the sparkly glamour of the other shop.
After all, Whistler isn't about glitz, it's about skiing and bumming around.
The t-shirt captured the essence of the quaint town.
And for $15 American dollars, I couldn't pass it up.
