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: https://www.century-plaza.com

In Whistler we stayed in a delightful Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/386053...

We travelled from Vancouver to Whistler with Epic Rides ($35 / £20 return): https://epicrides.ca

On our Brewery Creek tap room crawl we visited...
Big Rock: https://bigrockbeer.com
Electric Bicycle: https://electricbicyclebrewing.com
R&B: https://www.randbbrewing.com
Brewhall: http://brewhall.com

My new skis are the Elan Ripstick 96 (181cm) and are the best skis I've ever owned: https://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.

5 years ago I watched this video for the first time and it inspired me to do a ski season when I finished uni. Well it’s 5 years later and I have moved to Whistler. Watching this now as tomorrow the mountain opens and I can finally live a dream 5 years in the making. I can’t wait to try the nachos at Merlins. Thanks Robbie I wouldn’t be here without you and this video (I mean literally here in Whistler, I wouldn’t have killed myself ; christ, you’re not that important)

The way you rescued Nancy from certain death without any thought for your own personal safety was so admirable. What a guy.

My favourite part was that amazing graphic at the beginning. Fantastic job!

I spent four months in Canada as an exchange student at the start of 2020. I watch this video every few months because it makes me remember how amazing my experience was. Such a lovely video, fills me with happy memories.

The 80’s reflective sunglasses style material on your ski goggles accompanied with the tash of a man of superior skill make me compelled to watch. I thank you in advance

29:37 during my time in whistler in 2010 when I had not long arrived there was a French guy in my hostel room talking about 7th heaven and saying once you get up there it is like heaven, I thought he was exaggerating but when I finally got up there I fully understood what he meant. My 5 months in whistler was one of the best times of my life and I met some great people. Being from 🇬🇧 I would love to go back.
