The Proof: Vanessa Stark
Deep snow, peak line, first chair, heart pumping,
face lap, good landings, lift line, high fives…
Top to bottom, pow slash, face shot, white room,
flat cliffs, orange trees, cat track, bordercross, Dustys, more High fives and 5 more please!!!
That is one of my favorite days.
Good mountain air, good people, good vibes. I found home in Whistler 20 years ago last month. It has been awesome! (Although, I now live up the road in the beautiful valley of dogs, babies, bikes and potatoes.)
I can’t image my life anywhere else I’ve been drawing always. People ask-“when did you start?” Most of us start around two-I just never stopped.
Snowboarding, biking, yoga, cooking, eating, painting, camping, dancing, laughing, chasing the cats and the toddler… here I am living the dream! In the words of a great man –Life is good and simple.
…and Whistler is awesome!

Gotta love the creekside! I lived in the Whistler creekside for over 10 years. I now live in the Pemberton creekside.

Today I am working on the logo for the Four Kings bike race this summer. I also have a kids room series coming soon!
