Yes folks, it’s that time of year. It’s the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs. And hopes are certainly high for the Vancouver Canucks this year. There’s so much to say about this that I literally cannot find the words to describe how excited I am about the upcoming Vancouver Canucks playoff game. Round 1, Game 1 TONIGHT vs. the Chicago Blackhawks. YES!

So I shall sum it all up in just one phrase…

GO CANUCKS GO!

Now that I’ve got that out of my system, I’m excited to announce that I have an amazing giveaway!

I am giving away an amazing luxury ski and snowboard package to Whistler Blackcomb. Scroll down to enter!

It’s starting to get snowy on our local mountains and I’m already itching to get back into my snowboard gear and strap on my board! The early fall months are always difficult to get through, waiting for the snow to fall. Not that this fall has been anything less but crazy busy… work is very busy, planning the wedding, I’ve been planning my big birthday party tomorrow, plus wedding dress appointments, an upcoming (YES!) New York City trip, and a work trip to LA. Yeesh!

I will DEFINITELY not be missing Whistler Blackcomb‘s opening weekend… which is officially November 25 to 27! Woohooo!

It’s supposed to be ridiculous this year with La Nina approaching and tons of snow in the forecast. I can’t wait! Whistler already has 70 cm of snow.

In honour of the awesome ski and snowboard season destined to hit this year, I am giving away an AMAZING ski and snowboard package to Whistler Blackcomb! You can visit their website here to find out more about the mountain or follow them on Twitter.
