While in Whistler I wanted to do something
semi adventurous for my 30th b-day.
We decided on zip lining.
As soon as Josh officially booked it I started
getting super nervous and anxious.
I am not a huge fan of heights.
Like I freak out when I get stuck at the top of the ferris wheel.
I tried not to think to much about it and work myself up.
We got ready in our mismatched snow gear
and headed out through the village to find our location.
We walked circles for a while before
finally finding it. I was wearing Michelle's
rain boots which are a size to small plus I had on two pairs
of socks so my feet were hurting a little.
We did the twilight tour which is the last run of the day.
Josh and I were the only two in the bear tour group.
We got VIP treatment.
We met our instructors, got geared up, and headed out to the practice run.
I started getting nervous and volunteered to go first to get it over with.
The practice run felt like nothing.
I was like I can do this no problem.
Little did I know what was in store for me.
We then drove a shuttle up to the zip line location.
We signed up for the bear tour.
It is the a shorter tour and you do 4 different runs.
We got dropped off and headed out into the woods by
walking through paths and bridges.
The picture below is from the first platform we
stopped at for our first run.
I again volunteered to go first.
As I was getting harnessed up I got
really nervous. Heart was beating super fast.
I told myself just to go for it so I did.
I had mixed feelings as I soared across.
Mostly fear.
I didn't love it.
Josh coming across.
It was a breeze for him.
After I was safely on the other side it began to sink in
that I had to do this three more times!
The courses only got longer too.
I had a little melt down before my second run
and almost didn't do it.
The very kind guide talked me into it.
By the third run I actually enjoyed it!
The final run they wanted you to go upside down.
I was not having anything to do with that.
I was finally enjoying but I still held on for dear life.
The fourth and final run was really quick.
By then I was ready to do more and bummed it was over.
I am now feel like an adventure woman a
and ready to zip line all around the world!
What beautiful countryside! I don't think I could zip line - scared of heights too! Well done!
