I have newer pairs but that one seems to have more cushioning, plus I have a GEL insert in them.<br /><br />As I was walking about I was thinking about your trails back there. I have a few months to build up some endurance. We have never seen the water levels so high. We went back there again this morning to see the high tide.

I think it would be a chore to commute in that traffic and mingle with the vehicles which come from Surrey, White Rock, Ladner and then have to deal with that "tunnel", with limited roads. BUT it is a good place to visit on the Weekends.<br /><br />Whistler is not my favourite place and I try my best to not go there.
