On Saturday October 22, 2021 my wonderful partner and I set out on a quick getaway for a night in Squamish, BC. We love going up to the Whistler area as the drive is stunning and reminds me of the beauty our beautiful province holds on the Coast. My partner Sonya let me know in advance that she had planned a surprise event for me that day so we needed to be in town by a certain time of day.

So we checked in and unfortunately the weather created an issue with visibility and no planes were going out. They said to call and check in later or the next day to see if we could go out.
