It's a great drive.

If you hit the Sea-to-Sky highway early enough -- and if it's not the
ski season so that "early enough" is both not as early as the skiers
heading up to Whistler and so that the sun is already up! -- there's not
much traffic on a road that winds and has a terrific mix of bends and
straights for a car such as the Miata. In the spring, the road north of
Whistler and Pemberton runs along a beautiful river where everything is
alive...


....I think I'll do it again this spring with my GF!
