Best. Train. Ever.

Posted on February 28, 2010

I take a ride on the luxurious Alberta Train up to Whistler to experience the snowier side of the Winter Olympics. It was definitely the highlight of my Olympic experience so far!

Stay tuned for Part 2.

    You’ve done a really nice job of making Canada look and feel like a really nice and wonderful place. I’ve always wanted to visit Whistler and that train is the icing on the cake!

    This seems to have been a sensational experience… Awesome train and trip. Congratulations for the blog and also for your photography website. Your pictures are perfect! I’m thinking about getting a camera and yours (Canon 5DMKII) is one of my options.
    Your videos are really good as well.. I was wondering what camera you use for filming and what application do you use for editing the videos…
    Cheers ;)
