The Alberta Train - A Golden Experience

On Monday I had the pleasure of taking the Alberta Train to Whistler. The trip itself is amazing, first class treatment the whole way. It was a full day beginning with a pickup at around 5:30, before you know it, you're sitting in a very comfortable seat in an amazing looking train carriage. 

The journey start to finish is outstanding. We were very fortunate with the weather we got on the way up, it was absolutely spectacular. 

 What made this trip extra special was the attendance of one our guests; back-to-back Olympic Gold Medalist for Men's Snowboard Cross , American Athlete Seth Wescott. 

Seth was a great sport and didn't mind the photo session at all. Needless to say, this made the trip for all the guests extra special. When do you get to see a real Olympic Gold Medal?
