A Day in the Snow at Hemlock Valley Resort

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

We felt the need to burn off a little steam and have some fun, so we headed up to visit our friends at Hemlock Valley Resort.

Hemlock Valley Resort is located about half an hour east of Mission, half an hour west of Harrison Hot Springs. From Harrison Mills you turn and drive up, up, way up the mountain (approximately 30 minutes). Winter conditions are often severe, so vehicles are required to carry chains. Check Hemlock’s road report before heading up.

What an absolute blast we had.

Pulse Adventure: Summer Wine Tasting BBQ

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

For our latest Pulse Adventure we decided to stay at home.  The sun finally came out so we threw a summer BBQ with some friends. We’ve been hearing lots about Langley’s Mike Nierychlo and we thought a casual, informative wine tasting sounded like a lot of fun! We asked Mike to bring over a few easy-to-drink summer wines that would work well in a casual setting, such as a summer BBQ.

Mike and his lovely wife showed up to our event with four covered bottles, so we couldn’t judge them based on the labels. Once they are covered up, we realized how often we actually do pre-judge based on what’s on the outside of the bottle!
The four wines chosen were perfect summer sipping wines – Mike really does know how to pick ‘em!

Pulse Adventure: Barnston Island

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Barnston Island is situated on the Fraser River, in between Pitt Meadows and Surrey, BC. It’s a quaint, serene community of less than 200 people.  We’ve heard for years that Barnston Island is a fabulous place for a bike ride; it’s flat, approximately 8 KM around – a perfect outing for a family, a group of friends or a date!

We packed up the FVP mobile with our bicycles, some water and our helmets and headed over to the Barnston Island ferry.

Photo Shoot With Your BFFs

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

We’ve been on a new Pulse Adventure!

When was the last time any of us had some professional photos taken with our BFFs?  ”Our wedding” was the answer from most of our team.  That’s no good!  So we hired a local Make-Up Artist and headed to Adore Pictures in Chilliwack for a fun night of looking glamourous and having a photographer there to prove it :)

Ladies Night Rock Climbing

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

We’ve been on a new Pulse Adventure!

We were tired of the same old, same old dinner and drinks for ladies night.  So we put on our stretchy clothes, tied our hair back and went rock climbing!

The Rock Wall in Maple Ridge is literally 30 seconds from the new Golden Ears Bridge (on the Maple Ridge side).  Monday nights from 7PM – 9PM is ladies night!  Instructor Nikki taught us how to work all of the equipment, then set us free to climb!  We laughed ourselves silly and got a pretty great workout while doing so.  We’re no spring chickens, so there were some nerves beforehand – but we actually ended up being some of the youngest ones there… women of all ages were enjoying a great night out.
